I don't wanna talk
About the 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
About the 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
[Chorus 1]
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
[Verse 2]
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
[Chorus 2]
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
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
[Verse 3]
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
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
[Chorus 3]
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
[Verse 1 variation]
I don't wanna talk
'Cause it makes me feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
[Verse 1 variation]
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
[Chorus 3 variation]
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
[Chorus 3 variation]
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
[Outro]
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
[Outro]
The winner takes it all
The Winner Takes It All
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Winner Takes It All" is a song
recorded by the Swedish pop group ABBA. Released as the first single from
the group's Super Trouper album on 21 July 1980, it is a ballad in the key
of F-sharp major, reflecting the end of a romance. The single's B-side was the
non-album track "Elaine".
"The Winner Takes It All" - which had the
original demonstration title "The Story of My Life" - was written
by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny
Andersson, with Agnetha Fältskogsinging
the lead vocal.
Ulvaeus denies the song is about his and Fältskog's
divorce, saying the basis of the song "is the experience of a divorce, but
it's fiction. 'Cause one thing I can say is that there wasn't a winner or a
loser in our case. A lot of people think it's straight out of reality, but it's
not".[1] American critic Chuck Klosterman,
who says "The Winner Takes It All" is "[the only] pop song that
examines the self-aware guilt one feels when talking to a person who has
humanely obliterated your heart" finds Ulvaeus' denial hard to believe in
light of the original title.[2] And the booklet for the double CD compliation The Definitive
Collection states "'The Winner Takes
It All' is the song where Bjorn admits that the sad experience of his and
Agnetha's divorce the previous year left its mark on the lyrics."
Fältskog has also repeatedly stated that though "The
Winner Takes It All" is her favorite ABBA song and that it has an excellent
set of lyrics, the story is not that of her and Ulvaeus: there were no winners
in their divorce, especially as children were involved.[citation needed]
In a 1999 poll for Channel 5,
"The Winner Takes It All" was voted Britain's favourite ABBA song.
This feat was replicated in a 2010 poll for ITV.
In a 2006 poll for a Channel Five programme, "The Winner Takes It
All" was voted "Britain's Favourite Break-Up Song."
