Intro:
Midnight, and I'm awaiting on the 12:05,
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 about 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
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
