Playing with the Queen of Hearts
>Knowin' it ain't really smart
Kinda dumb to "Play" with the queen of your heart
>The Joker ain't the only fool
>Who'll do anything for you
Why mess with another player when
You've got me hook, line and sinker?
Laying out another lie
"I'm trying to make up a story that will make all this work, maybe lying to myself"
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cos that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
I am getting desperate to fix this, even if it means getting away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody tellin' everybody
What you have done
I'm not spying, you're just not keeping your secrets
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handin' out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some
It's not me you're trying to hurt, you're sabotaging the best thing you've got going
(See above for chorus)
Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell 'em they're the only one
I know I'm not the first, but I'd like to think I'm the one that matters now!
And others, they know just
What I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover
When you say you're only in it for fun
I know you care, don't keep trying to hurt me, don't make it hard to pretend!

"The Queen of Hearts" is the one, the one you really want. The Joker is the next floozy. He's playing hard to get and she's about to (try) to get away. He never cuts her any slack, never gives her a moment to think "Maybe" he's going to keep her heart from breaking. Not even in bed! And she doesn't have to catch him cheating, he sends people to tell her what he's doing. And he gets upset, but really, he's the one doing it.
The woman is either a stalker or the best thing that could happen to him! But either way he's the one pulling the strings, it looks like.
Midnight
And I'm a-waitin'
On the twelve-o-five
Hopin' it'll take me
Just a little farther down the line
It's the middle of the night, she's on the run, trying to get to "safety" but probably metaphorically
Moonlight
You're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breakin'
If it's only for a very short time
Moonlight is his sweet, romantic side. She's like, "Give me something to believe in, even if it's a lie."
