[Verse 1]
Black lipstick, hard to miss
Ice in her veins, she leaves a kiss
Checkerboard shoes on the curb at night
She walks in like a streetfight
Van parked up, engine hot
Every eye turns when she hits that spot
Says my name like a dare, not a prayer
Then she grins and pulls me there
[Pre-Chorus]
She don't slow down
She don't ask twice
One look from her
And I lose my mind
[Chorus]
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Tears up the room, looks mean and clean
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Ride so wild, you know what I mean
(Checkerboard queen)
(Checkerboard queen)
[Verse 2]
She rides like thunder, hands on tight
Chrome on her boots in the dead of night
Mean little smile, velvet knife
She's got that spark that steals your life
She's got the kind of heat
That leaves a mark
Steps in the dark
And splits it apart
[Pre-Chorus]
She don't back off
She don't play nice
One blink from her
And I pay the price
[Chorus]
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Tears up the room, looks mean and clean
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Ride so wild, you know what I mean
(Checkerboard queen)
(Checkerboard queen)
[Bridge]
Half-step sway, boots on the floor
She wants the rush, she wants more
Black on black, and the whole place shakes
She takes the wheel, she makes the break
[Final Chorus]
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Tears up the room, looks mean and clean
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Ride so wild, you know what I mean
Checkerboard queen, checkerboard queen
Ice-cold fire, my dangerous dream
(Checkerboard queen)
(Checkerboard queen)
