Queen Of Hearts - Rodney Crowell

Midnight

And I'm a waiting on the twelve o five

Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line

Moonlight

You're just a heartache in disguise

Why don't you keep my heart from breaking

If it's only for a very short time

I feel playing with the queen of hearts

But knowing it ain't really smart

The joker ain't the only fool

Who could do anything for you

I feel laying out another lie

A thinking about a life of crime

That's what I'll have to do

To keep me away from you

Baby yeah

You know it makes me sad

Now why is everybody telling everybody what you have done

Baby yeah

I know it makes you mad

But when they're handing out the heartaches

Baby you ought to grab one

I feel playing with the queen of hearts

But knowing it ain't really smart

The joker ain't the only fool

Who could do anything for you

I feel laying out another lie

A thinking about a life of crime

That's what I'll have to do

To keep me away from you

I want to keep me away from you

Lovers

I know you had a few

You had your heart behind the covers

While you tell them there is the only one

Others

The one I'm going through

And it's a hard to be a lover when you say you're only had some fun

I've been playing with the queen of hearts

But knowing it ain't really smart

The joker ain't the only fool

Who could do anything for you

I feel laying out another lie

A thinking about a life of crime

Cause that's what I'll have to do

To keep me away from you

I feel playing with the queen of hearts

But knowing it ain't really smart

Cause that's what I'll have to do

To keep me away from you

I want to keep me away from you

I want to keep me away from you
