Dave Edmunds Queen Of Hearts Lyrics

Queen Of Hearts Lyrics

Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205

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 about a life of crime

That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you



Baby, it makes me feel so bad

Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done

And 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 knowing it ain't really smart

The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you

Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime

That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you



Lovers, I know you've had a few

You hide your heart beneath the covers

And you tell 'em they're the only one

And others know what I'm going through

It's so hard to be a lover

When you say you only do 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

Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime

That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you



To keep me away from you

To keep me away from you



(Repeat)
