ABBA - 1980 The Winner Takes It All





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...

Hey, that's MY SONG,

ABBA does have a lovely sound! Was this song in "Mama Mia"? I know that that is a real popular show these days!

Well, Brian, this is the third time I'm trying to respond to you here. I wonder what's going on with greasy? Anyway, as I said twice before, yes, I think that ABBA should sing their own songs, as I think most stars in a reality based show should. I think they used to dub in the real singers long ago. I haven't seen many shows recently, so I don't really know.
AND, I have commented on some of your posts on your site, but you seem to only answer me on Star's site...

Hi Sunshine, saw the stage musical "Mamma Mia" and think I was the only person (especially a gay man) who thought it SSSSUCKED!!! May see the movie for free when it comes to cable but I will probably have to drink lots of alcohol beforehand to be able to endure the vocals being given a hatchet job by actors who can't carry a tune I will say it once and say it a hundred times "the only ones that should sing Abba should be Abba!!"
