[Verse 1]
Midnight and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five,
hoping it'll take me just a little further 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 about 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.
 
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 about a life of crime,
'cause that's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you.
 
 
[Verse 3] (Key Change to D)
Lovers, I know you've had a few, but hide your
heart beneath the covers and tell 'em they're the only one.
Others, they know just what I'm going through, but 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.
 
[End-Chorus] (Key Change to E)
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 about a life of crime,
'cause that's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you.
