♫ The Winner Takes It All
lyrics and music by B. Anderson and B. Ulvaeus
performed by ABBA
I don’t �anna talk about the things
We’ve gone through.
Though it’s hurting me
No� it’s history.
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s �hat you’ve done too.
Nothing more to say,
No more ace to play.
Refrain:
The �inner takes it all
The loser’s standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny1.
I �as in your arms
Thinking I belonged there.
I gured it made sense
Building me a fence,
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there,
But I �as a fool
Playing by the rules.
Refrain:
The gods may throw a dice
2
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone �ay do�n here
Loses someone dear.
The �inner 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?
Some�here deep inside
You must kno� I miss you,
But �hat can I say–
Rules must be obeyed.
Refrain
The judges �ill decide
The likes of me abide.
Spectators1 of the sho�
Al�ays staying lo�.
The game is on again,
A lover or a friend,
A big thing or a small,
The �inner takes it all.
I don’t �anna 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-condence
2
But you see…
The �inner takes it all (twice)

♫ Believe
performed by Cher
No matter ho� hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through,
There’s no talking to you.
So sad that you’re leaving,
It takes time to believe it.
But after all is said and done
You’re going to be the lonely one, ohh...
Refrain:
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no.
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and �ait for you?
And I can’t do that,
There’s no turning back.
I need time to move on,
I need love to feel strong
‘Cause1 I’ve had time to think it through
And maybe I’m too good for you …
Refrain
twice
But I kno� that I’ll get through this
‘Cause¹ I kno� that I’m strong…
I don’t need you anymore (four times)
