[Opening] Shh... You never saw me coming. One move too late. [Verse 1] Diamonds on my fingers, Secrets in my sleeve, Smile so sweet, but baby, don't believe. Walk into the room, everybody freezes, One little glance and I collect my pieces. You were busy talking, Plotting from the dark, I was drawing circles around your little heart. Thought you had the kingdom locked behind the gate, Now I'm sitting on your throne and changing your fate. [Pre-Chorus] You move your king, I move my queen. You're playing checkers, I'm seventeen moves deep. You call it luck, I call it art. The deadliest weapon Is a pretty little heart. [Chorus] Checkmate! Baby, game over. Bow your head, The queen takes over. One move, One touch, One look and you're falling apart, I was aiming for your empire from the start. Black lace gloves and a dangerous smile, Had you walking straight into my trial. You thought you were hunting me all night— Now you're down to your king and I'm taking your life. Checkmate. Checkmate. You thought you had the crown — Now watch me become one. [Post-Chorus] Oh no... Did I steal your crown? Didn't mean to— Actually, I did. [Verse 2] Silk dress swaying like a warning sign, Every enemy eventually falls in line. Pretty little princess? That's what they all say, Until they're watching everything they built decay. I don't raise my voice, I don't need the noise, Power isn't given, It's a calculated choice. Every secret, every weakness, every hidden scar, I turn them into maps that show me where you are. [Pre-Chorus] You're moving pawns, I'm moving fate. The moment you blink, It's already too late. You thought you'd win, You played too fast. I knew the ending, Before the first move passed. [Chorus] Checkmate! Baby, game over. Bow your head, The queen takes over. One move, One touch, One look and you're falling apart, I was aiming for your empire from the start. Black lace gloves and a dangerous smile, Had you walking straight into my trial. You thought you were hunting me all night— Now you're down to your king and I'm taking your life. Checkmate. Checkmate. You thought you had the crown — Now watch me become one. [Bridge] Maybe it's the red lips, Maybe it's the heels. Maybe it's the way I never tell you what is real. Maybe it's the danger, Maybe it's the chase. Maybe it's the look I give before I leave no trace. One hand on the crown, One hand on the knife. A princess in the daylight, An assassin in the night. But darling, You can’t outrun fate. [Final Chorus] Checkmate, baby, bow slowly. Every kingdom here belongs to me. I don't need permission, I don't need a fight. I already won before the first night. Black queen standing where the kings once stood, Turning every bad hand into something good. You thought you were the hunter, what a cute mistake— Now the whole board shakes when I whisper... Checkmate. [Outro] Good game, darling! Better luck next time.
