Lyrics The Winner Takes It All - From "Mamma Mia!" - Meryl Streep

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 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 (and it's plain)
Why should I complain? (I complain)

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 (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (or a small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)

I don't wanna talk
'Cause it makes me 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
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (or a small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
(Takes it all)

The winner takes it all
