Midnight
And I'm a-waiting on the 12:05
Hoping it'll take me
Just a little farther down the lineAnd moonlight
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 doneBaby
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 youLaying out another lie
Thinking 'bout a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from youLovers
I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell 'em they're the only oneAnd 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
And knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for youAnd laying out another lie
And thinking 'bout a life of crime
If that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from youPlaying with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
