The Winner Takes It All


Finished listening to the entire CD, personally I think the previous Mama Mia Musical CD which I have is better, may be that is the first version that I listen to. So my advice is, if you want to get your one and only Mama Mia CD, go for the musical version which the above lady on the CD cover.
One of my favourite is the "poker game song" - The Winner Takes It All:
ABBA - The Winner Takes It All lyrics
I dont wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though its hurting me
Now its history.
I've played all my cards
And thats 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
Thats 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
Its simple and its 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 dont 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~......
