I Complete the lyrics using participle forms (Present and Past) of the following verbs
think x2, see, play x2, build, do, go, hurt, obey, stand, come, stay

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've ______ through
Though it's _________ me
Now it's history
I've ________ all my cards
And that's what you've ________ too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play.

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 _________.

The winner takes it all
The loser _______________ small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny.

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always _________ low
The game is on again

A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I was in your arms
_______________ I belonged there
I figured it made sense
________________ me a fence
Building me a home
_________________ I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
_______________ 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

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've _________ to shake my
hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
___________ me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see

The winner takes it all...
