[Verse 1] 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 'Cause that's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you [Verse 2] 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] 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 'Cause that's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun [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 [Chorus] 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 I'm laying out another lie, I'm thinking 'bout a life of crime 'Cause that's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you [Outro] Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts Playing with the queen of hearts
