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)
