Just a little boy in a big girls land

Playin' 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

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

Cause you're just a little boy in a big girls land

Playin' 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

Someone stupid told me that romance was dead

They 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

You're just a little boy in a big girls land

Playin' 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

(x2)

Oh, you're never gonna make it over these walls of mine

You should runaway

Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army

Yea, you should runaway

Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army

Yea, you should runaway

Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army

You should runaway

Cause you'll never get past me and my army, my army

You're just a little boy in a big girls land

Playin' 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
