"Checkmate" 的歌詞如下：
女：
It's checkmate in love
Oh-oh oh
When he had my heart
I never stood a chance to let go
Yeah he had me pinned like checkmate
男：
And I can't escape my thoughts
Got me trapped in the past
Oh no
Can't run away from the game
And I know it's over
But I still feel the pain
And I can't stop it now
Oh no
Cause it's checkmate
女：
Oh-oh oh
When he played the one card
That made me love him more
He pinned me down like checkmate
男：
Yeah he was good at love games
Till I lost the score and fell into his trap
I should've seen it coming
But I didn't play the role I knew I couldn't win
But now I'm trapped like checkmate
女：
And now I'm standing alone in the corner of my room
Trying to find a way to let go of you
But it's checkmate in love and I'm lost for words
So lost for words, oh-oh oh oh oh
男：
Oh-oh oh, cause it's checkmate, checkmate in love (oh no)
No second chances now baby don't blame yourself (oh no)
Just like a chess game you won my heart (oh no)
Now you're just a memory that I can't forget (oh no)
女：
Oh-oh oh, when he played the one card (oh no)
That made me love him more (oh no)
He pinned me down like checkmate (no)
And now it's too late to save this love (oh no)
Cause it's checkmate in love, yeah, oh-oh oh oh oh
Checkmate in love (it's checkmate) yeah, oh-oh oh oh oh...
