Suzanne Vega "Knight Moves" video

Watch while the queen
in one false move
turns herself into a pawn
Sleepy and shaken,
and watching while the blurry night,
Turns into a very clear dawn

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love many, can you love one,
do you love me?

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love twenty, can you love one,
do you love me?

One false move
and a secret prophecy
Well, if you hold it against her,
first hold it up and see
that it's one side stone,
one side fire -
standing alone among all men's desire

They want to know:
Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love many, can you love one,
do you love me?

Do you love any, do you love none,
Do you love twenty, can you love one,
do you love me?

and if you wonder
what I am doing
as I am heading
for the sink
I am spitting out
all the bitterness
along with half of my last drink
I am thinking
of your woman
who is crying in the hall
It's like drinking gasoline
to quench a thirst
until there's nothing there left at all

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love many, can you love one,
do you love me?

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love twenty, can you love one,
do you love me?

and "Walk on her blind side"
was the answer to the joke
that said there isn't a political bone
in her body

Well, she would rather be a riddle
but she keeps challenging the future
with a profound lack of history

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love many, can you love one,
do you love me?

Do you love any, do you love none,
do you love twenty, can you love one,
do you love me?

And watch while the queen
in one false move
turns herself into a pawn
Sleepy and shaken
and watching while the blurry night
turns into a very clear dawn

Do you love me? (x 6)
