Midnight,
and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the lineMoonlight,
you're just a heartache in disguise;
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short timePlaying with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for youLaying out another lie,
thinking 'bout a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do
to keep me away from youHoney, 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 somePlaying with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for youLovers, 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 funPlaying with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for youPlaying with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for youPlaying with the queen of hearts
