I'm waiting on the 12 o 'clock
Hoping it'll take me just a
little further down the line
if it's a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short time
Playing with a queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
Jokin' ain't the only fool
thinkin' bout a life of pride
Baby, it makes me feel so bad
Why is everybody telling everybody
And baby, I know it makes you sad
When they're out the hornets
Layin' with a queen of hearts
Knowin' ain't it really smart
Jokin' ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Thinkin' about it like a crime
If that's what I have to do
And others, I know you've had a few
But your head beneath the covers
know what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover
when you say you only do it for fun
We're playing for the queen of hearts
We're going in and we need smarts
We're doing a play for you
We're making out another lie
We're thinking about it like a prank
If that's what I have to do
