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]
