Chess New York movie - How Many Women lyrics
rate me<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
How many women would drive themselves crazy<br>
By arguing over a game of chess?<br>
Not very many -- the way things are going<br>
There'll soon be one less!<br>
<br>
[FREDDIE]<br>
Don't believe you, sweetie pie --<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
Listen, Freddie -- I too had ambitions<br>
How did I get waylaid?<br>
How can such a flower<br>
A sensitive soul, a delicate child<br>
Wind up as a nursemaid<br>
Respectably set for the glittering prizes<br>
Instead of which I landed you --<br>
<br>
[FREDDIE]<br>
You'll get your prizes!<br>
I'm ninety percent of the way to the top of the heap.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
Thanks -- ten percent -- you got me cheap.<br>
<br>
[FREDDIE]<br>
No, no, Florence -- I mean we are ninety percent of the way --<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
How many women -- articulate women<br>
With something to shout about --<br>
Spend their time<br>
Playing a game in which silence is golden<br>
And speaking a crime?<br>
<br>
[FREDDIE]<br>
Maybe if he moved his king....<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
All of my struggles for qualifications --<br>
My nights with Goethe and Proust<br>
Recklessly abandoned<br>
For you who thinks Chekhov is king to G3<br>
And Joyce my college roommate!<br>
But then when I show you a move you can't fathom<br>
I have to admit it feels great --<br>
<br>
[FREDDIE]<br>
Great news for chess fans!<br>
Yeah, that's how he did it -- yeah, that's how the Communist<br>
plays!<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
Maybe I deserve a raise.<br>
<br>
