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)
