She was the keeper of all my reason,
Possessor of all I owned,
She kept me on the edge of darkness
With words as cold as stone
Then you came along,
Your eyes were flashing with desire,
Oh babe, you got me burning, so much
You got my soul on fire

Honey, you move me,
You got me so I can’t sleep at night,
You tell me you believe in me,
And you say you’re gonna treat me right

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I’m gonna tell you, holy roller,
They say that love’s a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts

If I could touch the crystal silence
That we have after making love,
Just to tell you I need you here
In the glow of the stars above

If you ever leave, or deceive,
Or fool around,
You could be right,
You could be wrong,
But, woman, I know I’ll miss you
When you’re gone

Honey, you move me,
Like the wind thro’ a willow tree
Ain’t no doubt about it, baby,
You make the blindman see

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I’m gonna tell you, holy Roller,
They say that love’s a gamble,
But, I got the Queen of Hearts

You drive me crazy when you walk,
Crazy when you talk,
Crazy when you walk with me

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I’m gonna tell you, holy roller,
Gonna tell you, holy roller,
You’re the Queen of Hearts

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I’m gonna tell you, holy roller,
You’re the Queen of Hearts…
