Queen of Hearts - The Refreshments, Dave Edmunds

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
