Move by Move

You play chess with my emotions,
pulling me closer, move by move.
No escape, no more devotions,
you hold the game, you set the groove.
Your quiet plan, so calm and strong,
I’m trapped inside, can’t hold on long.

Refrain:
Move by move, you never quit,
move by move, the pieces fit.
The king fights hard for his queen,
no matter how fast I flee the scene.

Black or white, it makes no sense,
your patience sharp, your fight intense.
Your quiet plan, so calm and strong,
I’m trapped inside, can’t hold on long.
I fight, I fall, you take your chance,
you corner me in a dangerous dance.

Refrain:
Move by move, you never quit,
move by move, the pieces fit.
The king fights hard for his queen,
no matter how fast I flee the scene.
Move by move, you hold me tight,
move by move, I lose the fight.
