The Game

Rook takes knight, knight takes pawn
 Let the game begin
 Your only move, a quick retreat
 Because I won't give in
 I'll hold you at arms length
 Though I'll never show my strength
 I am king, you are queen
 There's a space in between
 I am here, you are there
 It's our love I declare
 You're the day in my night
 I stand on black, you stand on white
 And there's a move I will take
 It's our love that's at stake
 It's a game, it's a game
 Now can't you see that you've been overthrown
 Your defense has gone and you stand all alone
 I'll hold you in my sight
 It's your surrender I'll invite
 Should I captivate or abdicate
 Should I calculate or complicate
 Should I concentrate or formulate
 Or anticipate a stalemate
 One final move, checkmate
