Out of her kindness,

She extended the game of chess

Only to let me stay alive… Stay Alive!

 

She did make excellent moves

Picking up the best on board

Carefully strategizing

And removing my pawns…

She forced me into smart mess,

Only to let me stay alive… Stay Alive!

 

The queen knew the game

She set up my horses…

I lost the knight and fell to her

And suddenly so my rook…

Yet I got a lifer and I confess,

Only to let me stay alive… Stay Alive!

 

She was on the wedge of a win

But she let me triumph

Don’t know what was on her mind

I guess my game was long over,

Letting me win she did bless,

Only to let me stay alive… Stay Alive!

 

She may have the lost game

But she has actually won

She has won hearts

It’s her magnanimity…

That like a true princess…

Only to let me stay alive… Stay Alive!
