The Winner Takes It All

by Cídia e Dan

on Duetos Românticos (2014)

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 x2
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 x2
But tell me does he 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 stay in line
The game is on again, a lover or a friend
A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all x2
The winner takes it all
