The Winner Takes It All Lyrics
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 The winner takes it all The loser 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 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. 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 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 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... |

The melody is beautiful enough, but these lyrics are amazing. And very true. How sad...

I love the way you can here Agnetha's accent when she sort of speaks the lyrics. Great track.

Though English is my second language and I am not that excellent in it, I absolutely admire this very song. However, there are some expressions I totally can't understrand and would appreciate it if somebody provide me with a plain definition for these expressions that follows:
1- `The winner takes it all`
2-`The loser standing small Beside the victory`
3- `The gods may throw a dice`
4- `Spectators of the show Always staying low`
Thanks in advance!

1) The winner takes it all- if you were to play a game such as basketball or poker, and you do a bet, the winner takes it all means the person that win takes all the money of the bids, in this song it is used to express the idea of losing a game and having to give up everything you own, in this case her feelings...
2) The loser stands small- the person that lost is now useless, worthless and defense less compared to the winner.
3) The god may throw a dice- means that iti is destiny there is no one who can make a dice turn out the way they want to .
4) the spectators of the show always staying low- the people who are watching what is happening will not get involved.

But I don't think it's about Agnetha and Bjorn.
"The lyrics to the song were thought to mirror the divorce between Ulvaeus and Fältskog in 1979. However, Ulvaeus himself denies this, saying the basis of the song 'is the experience of a divorce, but it's fiction. 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'." --Wikipedia on The Winner Takes It All
