Songinfo

The Winner Takes It All had oorspronkelijk de titel "The Story of my Life". Het nummer werd, net als alle andere ABBA-nummers, geschreven door Björn Ulvaeus en Benny Andersson. De zang is in dit nummer van Agnetha Fältskog. De teksten van het nummer lijken te slaan op de scheiding tussen Ulvaeus en Fältskog in 1979. Dit wordt echter ontkend door beide leden. Ulvaeus zegt hierover dat de basis van het nummer "de ervaring van een scheiding is, maar wel een fictieve. In ons geval was er geen winnaar of verliezer. Veel mensen denken dat het nummer realiteit is, maar dat is niet het geval".

Songtekst

I don't wanna talk
About 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's 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 (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (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 (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show, always staying low
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (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

So the winner takes it all
And the the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall...
