The Winner Takes It All

The Winner Takes It All - Imelda Papin

I don't want to talk about things

We've gone through

Though it's hurting me

Now it's history

I've played all my cards

And now that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small beside the victory

That's her destiny

I was in your arms thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool playing by the rules

The gods may throw the dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain

Now tell me does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say

Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Spectators of the show

Always staying low

The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

I don't want to talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologize if it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self confidence

And you sing

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

Throw a dice cold as ice

Way down here
