| 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
|
| [repeat and fade |
