Checkmate Lyrics
[Chorus]
Just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Verse 2]
Bugging like a fly against my window pane
Pain is what you gave me when you left that day
That day I made a promise to raise my fisty cuffs
You won't fool me twice, once is quite enough
[Chorus]
'Cause you're just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Verse 2]
Someone stupid told me that romance was dead
I took him to the tower and cut off his head
But I don't believe it
And I've got the proof standing right beside me
When I compare him to you
Just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Verse 2]
Bugging like a fly against my window pane
Pain is what you gave me when you left that day
That day I made a promise to raise my fisty cuffs
You won't fool me twice, once is quite enough
[Chorus]
'Cause you're just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Verse 2]
Someone stupid told me that romance was dead
I took him to the tower and cut off his head
But I don't believe it
And I've got the proof standing right beside me
When I compare him to you
[Chorus x2]
You're just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Bridge]
Oh, you're never gonna make it over these walls of mine
You should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
Yeah you should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
Yeah you should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
You should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
[Chorus]
Just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
You're just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
[Bridge]
Oh, you're never gonna make it over these walls of mine
You should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
Yeah you should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
Yeah you should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
You should run away
'Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army
[Chorus]
Just a little boy in a big girls land
Playing at being King, I took my kingdom back
Throwing arrows at the window
But they're not getting in though
You made a move too late, and now you're in checkmate
