Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midnight, and I'm a-waitin' on the 12:05
Hopin' it'll take me just a little farther down the line
The moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
And won't you keep my heart from breakin' if it's only for a very short time?
[Verse 2]
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Layin' out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
[Verse 3]
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody tellin' everybody what you have done?
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handin' out the heartaches, you know you got to have you some
[Verse 4]
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Layin' out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
[Verse 5]
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 goin' through
And it's so hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun
[Verse 6]
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
[Verse 7]
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
And knowin' it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Layin' out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
[Verse 8]
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
