It was late after midnight

I was sitting in a tavern

I saw him playing cards

And I went over to the old man

He said: "I read inside the cards

All about your life

Do you want to know it?

So listen to me"



The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about life

She knows all about the heartache

Of the lovers in the night

Can't you try to read the signs?

The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about fate

And the Queen of Hearts, she's telling me:

"Run home to your love

Run before it is too late"



He shuffled all his cards

And then he started dealing

The Jack of Clubs, then Queen of Hearts

I didn't know the meaning

He said: “You'll lose your lover”

I did not believe a word

But when I got back home

My baby was gone



The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about life

She knows all about the heartache

Of the lovers in the night

Can't you try to read the signs?

The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about fate

And the Queen of Hearts, she's telling me:

“Run home to your love,

Run before it is too late”



The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about life

She knows all about the heartache

Of the lovers in the night

Can't you try to read the signs?

The Queen of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts knows about fate

And the Queen of Hearts, she's telling me:

“Run home to your love,

Run before it is too late”
