Lyrics

Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205 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 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 That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you Baby, it makes me feel so bad Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done And 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 That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you Lovers, I know you've had a few You hide your heart beneath the covers And you tell 'em they're the only one And others know what I'm going through It's so hard to be a lover When you say you only do 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 Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you To keep me away from you To keep me away from you (Repeat)
