Queen Of Hearts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Midnight,
and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
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
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 '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 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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS
Playing with the queen of hearts
[repeat and fade
