The Winner Takes It All
Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern K Ulvaeus
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 (Takes it all)
The loser has to fall (Has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (It seems plain)
Why should I complain? (Why 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 (They decide)
The likes of me abide (We abide)
Spectators of the show (Of the show)
Always staying low (Staying low)
The game is on again (On again)
A lover or a friend (Or a friend)
A big thing or a small (Big or small)
The winner takes it all (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
So the winner
Takes it all
And the loser
Has to fall
I don't wanna talk
Eu não quero falar
About things we've gone through
Sobre as coisas que passamos
Though it's hurting me
Embora esteja me machucando
Now it's history
Agora é história
I've played all my cards
Joguei todas as minhas cartas
And that's what you've done, too
E isso é o que você fez também
Nothing more to say
Nada mais a dizer
No more ace to play
Nenhum ás para jogar
The winner takes it all
O vencedor leva tudo
The loser's standing small
O perdedor fica pequeno
Beside the victory
Ao lado da vitória
That's her destiny
Esse é o destino dela

Building me a fence

Building me a home
