|
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 |
|
CHORUS: |
|
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 |
|
CHORUS: |
|
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 |
|
CHORUS |
|
Playing with the queen of hearts |
