Midnight, and I`m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it`ll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you`re just a heartache in disguise; Won`t you
keep my heart from breaking if it`s only for a very short time
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain`t really smart
The joker ain`t the only fool who`ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking `bout a life of crime
That`s what I`ll have to do to keep me away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they`re handing out the heartaches you know you got to have you some
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain`t really smart
The joker ain`t the only fool who`ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking `bout a life of crime
That`s what I`ll have to do to keep me away from you
Lovers, I know you`ve had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell `em they`re the only one
And others, they know just what I`m going through
And it`s a-hard to be a lover when you say you`re only in it for fun
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain`t really smart
The joker ain`t the only fool who`ll do anything for you
Playing with the queen of hearts, and knowing it ain`t really smart
The joker ain`t the only fool who`ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking `bout a life of crime
That`s what I`ll have to do to keep me away from you
Playing with the queen of hearts [repeat and fade]
