Tom Jones, Lynn Anderson - Queen of Hearts lyrics

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

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

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
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

Playing with the queen of hearts
