Queen of Hearts

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

'Cause 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

'Cause 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

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

'Cause 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

Playing with the queen of hearts
