My lover and I play tiddlywinks
One pressed behind the other
This-is-happiness methinks
When, we're this close, together.
My heart, my chest it drums
Drums like a metal kettledrum
I guess I must be having fun.
Is there a harp; being strung
My lover and I play checkers
It's a game of black vs white
Boys vs girls, oh, who wins, I don't
Mind - losing to you.
My soul is about as close to you
As the snake on the board game
Of snakes and ladders
Heavenly I'm looking upwards at you.
My lover and I raise a glass
It is full; it is overflowing the brim
My lover shouts yeah, yeah, yeah
I guess she must have won. Boy vs girl
But I'm the winner
She's like nothing else in this world
It's a game of black vs white
Boys vs girls, oh, who wins, I don't
Mind - losing to you. Boy vs girl
