Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

Playing with the queen of hearts, and 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
Playing with the queen of hearts [repeat and fade]
