Midnight And I'm a-waiting on the 12:05 Hoping it'll take me Just a little farther down the line And 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 And laying out another lie And thinking 'bout a life of crime If that's what I'll have to do To keep me away from you Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts
