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 I am king, you are queen There's a space in between I am here you are there It's our love I declare
