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
Je ne veux pas parler
About things we've gone through
Des choses que nous avons traversées
Though it's hurting me
Bien que ça me fasse mal
Now it's history
Maintenant c'est de l'histoire ancienne
I've played all my cards
J'ai joué toutes mes cartes
And that's what you've done, too
Et c'est ce que tu as fait aussi
Nothing more to say
Rien de plus à dire
No more ace to play
Plus d'as à jouer
The winner takes it all
Le gagnant prend tout
The loser's standing small
Le perdant reste petit
Beside the victory
À côté de la victoire
That's her destiny
C'est son destin
I was in your arms
J'étais dans tes bras
Thinking I belonged there
Pensant que j'y appartenais
I figured it made sense
Je pensais que ça avait du sens
Building me a fence
Me construire une clôture
Building me a home
Me construire une maison
Thinking I'd be strong there
Pensant que je serais fort là-bas
But I was a fool
Mais j'étais un imbécile
Playing by the rules
Jouant selon les règles
The gods may throw the dice
Les dieux peuvent lancer les dés
Their minds as cold as ice
Leurs esprits aussi froids que la glace
And someone way down here

Does it feel the same
Est-ce que ça fait le même effet
When she calls your name?
