We Play Checkers (They Play Chess)

He poured a shot then he chuckled, “Here you are
Couldn’t help noticing her leave the bar
Maybe you took it just a bit too far
Hell, I have done that plenty

There are mysteries of the universe we men
Never will ever figure out my friend
Hope you don’t mind its only my two cents
And it’s worth every penny

I’ve seen my share
Of guys sitting there
With gals they don’t understand
Knowing that its
A battle of wits
With her and an unarmed man

As far as love goes
Kid it ain’t close
Men and women play a different game
It’s a bit confusing cause the boards the same
From the first date
Hell, its Check Mate
Hey, we ain’t nearly smart as we may think
In this match I’d say the Queen is King
They have moves we’d never guess
Son, we play checkers and they play chess

You’re wondering why it fell apart so fast
And what’s the right answer to that thing she asked
Cause all you could think of was to make her laugh
And she just wound up crying

Take my advice
Intelligent guys
Remember when all seems lost
We don’t have to win
No shame for us men
In settling for a draw

Next time she asks a question
And you don’t know how to play it
Just think of the dumbest thing that you can say
….and then don’t say it"
