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
