The Winner Takes It All Lyrics - The Impossible Dream - Richard & Adam

I don't wanna talk 

About things we've gone through 

Though it's hurting me 

Now it's history 

I've played all my cards 

And 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? 

But 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 wanna 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 

But you see 

The winner takes it all 

The winner takes it all
