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
'Cos 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
But 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
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos 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
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
