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
