[Verse 1: King Dude]
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

[Chorus 1: King Dude]
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

[Verse 2: King Dude]
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

[Chorus 2: King Dude]
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as icе
And someone way down herе
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?

[Verse 3: Myrkur & King Dude]
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

[Chorus: King Dude, King Dude & Myrkur]
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

[Verse 4: King Dude]
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand, you've come to shake my hand
I apologise
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence

[Bridge: King Dude & Myrkur]
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
