The Winner Takes It All

Lyrics for The Winner Takes It All

By Med EL BARAKA [00:34.80]I don't wanna talk [00:38.80]About things we've gone through [00:42.70]Though it's hurting me [00:46.10]Now it's history [00:50.50]I've played all my cards [00:54.60]And that's what you've done too [00:58.40]Nothing more to say [01:02.20]No more ace to play [01:05.90]The winner takes it all [01:09.90]The loser's standing small [01:13.70]Beside the victory [01:17.30]That's her destiny [01:21.90]I was in your arms [01:25.70]Thinking I belonged there [01:29.20]I figured it made sense [01:33.30]Building me a fence [01:36.80]Building me a home [01:40.80]Thinking I'd be strong there [01:44.70]But I was a fool [01:48.00]Playing by the rules [01:52.10]The gods may throw the dice [01:55.90]Their minds as cold as ice [01:59.70]And someone way down here [02:03.80]Loses someone dear [02:07.30]The winner takes it all [02:11.00]The loser has to fall [02:14.80]It's simple and it's plain [02:18.20]Why should I complain? [02:22.30]But tell me does she kiss [02:26.40]Like I used to kiss you? [02:30.20]Does it feel the same [02:33.70]When she calls your name? [02:37.70]Somewhere deep inside [02:41.40]You must know I miss you [02:45.50]But what can I say? [02:49.10]Rules must be obeyed [02:52.90]The judges will decide [02:56.80]The likes of me abide [03:00.30]Spectators of the show [03:04.40]Always staying low [03:08.10]The game is on again [03:12.00]A lover or a friend [03:15.40]A big thing or a small [03:19.20]The winner takes it all [03:25.10]I don't wanna talk [03:29.20]If it makes you feel sad [03:32.80]And I understand [03:36.10]You've come to shake my hand [03:40.50]I apologize [03:44.20]If it makes you feel bad [03:48.10]Seeing me so tense [03:51.90]No self-confidence [03:54.70]But you see [03:55.80]The winner takes it all [04:03.30]The winner takes it all... [04:12.30]So the winner takes it all [04:19.90]And the loser has to fall [04:27.30]Throw a dice, cold as ice [04:34.70]Way down here, someone dear [04:42.30]Takes it all, has to fall [04:49.80]It seems plain to me [04:54.70]By Med EL BARAKA
