I DON´T WANNA TALK
ABOUT THE 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 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 A 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 APOLOGISE
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD
SEEING ME SO TENSE
NO SELF-CONFIDENCE
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
