Midnight, I'm waiting on 12 o'clock
For the needle touching just
a little further down the line
Tonight 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 very smart
Joker ain't the only fool
to do anything for you
Playing out another line,
thinking 'bout a life of crime,
that's what I 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
when they hear about the heartaches
You know you got to have you some.
Chorus
Lovers I know you've had a few
Hide your heart beneath the covers
And you tell them they're the only one
And lovers know what I'm going through
It's so hard to be your lover when
you say you only do it for fun.
Chorus
