Midnight And I'm a-waitin' On the twelve-0-five Hopin' 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 breakin' If it's only for a very short time
Playing with the queen of hearts Knowin' it ain't really smart The joker ain't the only fool Who'll do anything for you Laying out another lie Thinkin' '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 tellin' everybody What you have done Baby, I know it makes you sad When they're handin' out the heartaches You know you got to have you some
Playing with the queen of hearts Knowin' it ain't really smart Joker ain't the only fool Who'll do anything for you Laying out another lie Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime That's what I'll have to do To keep me away from you
[Instrumental Interlude]
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
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
And laying out another lie Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime That's what I'll have to do To keep me away from you
