THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL (from movie " MAMMA MIA") by Meryl Streep


I don't want to 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
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 want to 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
It seems plain to me



Honesty is the best policy.

This is a very emotional song, sang by Meryl Streep but you still can hear the famous Swedish pop group "ABBA" in the background. Of course, ABBA sang most of the songs in the movie "Mamma Mia" but for this "The Winner Takes it All", I prefer sang by Meryl Streep. Please Google YouTube video "THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL (ABBA) - MAMMA MIA + Lyrics". It is a scene from the movie "Mamma Mia".

It is very emotional song that a couple is going to divorce. When I was younger, I didn't feel this emotion. But now I felt it the feeling what divorce couple have gone through this emotional period. Only the divorcing couple can understand the feeling. Meryl Streep acted very well.

When I am NOT traveling, I like to listen to my favorite songs that in my iPod Touch. Whenever I am in a restaurant, a doctor office waiting room, on a car, an airplane, ... I am in my zone of beautiful music. Sometimes, even during my stock trading time. I have 3,000 songs in my iPod.
