Queen of Hearts Songtext
von Rodney Crowell

Midnight
And I′m waiting on the 12:05
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′ve been playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain′t really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
To do anything for you

I′ve been laying out another lie
Thinking 'bout a life of crime
′Cause that's what I′ll have to do
To keep me away from you


Baby, yeah, you know it makes you 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, babe
You ought to grab one

I've been playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain′t really smart
The joker ain′t the only fool
To do anything for you

I've been laying out another lie
Thinking ′bout a life of crime
'Cause that′s what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
I want to keep away from you

Lovers, I know you′ve had a few
You hide your heart beneath the covers while you tell 'em they're the only one
Others know just what I′m going through
That it′s so hard to be a lover when you say you're only having for fun

I′ve been playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain′t the only fool
To do anything for you


I've been laying out another lie
Thinking ′bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I′ll have to do
To keep me away from you

I′ve been playing with the queen of hearts
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 away from you
I want to keep away from you
