It started with a quick glance in my direction
A smile on her face
Then her fingers ran through her long black hair
That's all she did
But for me that was more than enough
Being a man, I was born this way
She attacked with her female attraction
And I was lost
Checkmate by the queen in the game1
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate, for she played very cleverly
Checkmate, got to me move by move
"She's winning," I thought
She feels I'm losing
That woman makes me lose my mind
She was so tender
Almost like a little child
And yet as wild as her country
She was like a cold drop of dew on the grass
And yet she set me aflame
Hold and cold she got me
From the very first moment
Way too much has happened until today
There's no turning back
Checkmate by the queen in the game
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate, for she played very cleverly
Checkmate, got to me move by move
"She's winning," I thought
She feels I'm losing
That woman makes me lose my mind
Lalalalalalalala, lalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala, lalalalalala
Checkmate by the queen in the game
Checkmate because I liked her so much
Checkmate, for she played very cleverly
Checkmate, got to me move by move
"She's winning," I thought
She feels I'm losing
That woman makes me lose my mind
1. Lit. "by the lady in the game". In German,
