Cards on the table
Oh, I've been a mess
And it's not the first time
I'm sure you can guess
Sometimes that nice silver lining looks gray
And they say it's got something to do with my brain
All in all, it's a work of art
And on my best days
I'm the queen of hearts
La da da da
La da da da
The queen of hearts doesn't care
If you don't like what she wears
'Cause she's gonna wear it any way
She doesn't mind
If you don't have the time
'Cause she's gonna say
What she needs to say
Because there's no time to live any other way
The queen of hearts don't care
If you don't like her hair
'Cause you don't have to look at it any way
She won't me phased
If you tell her she's crazed
'Cause she's been saying it all day
And there's no time to live any other way
The queen of hearts doesn't care
She might shave off her hair
Or hop on a train
And choose a new name
Leave an old life behind
Or, god forbid, change her mind
Or write a dumb song
And make you sing along
Oh
La da da da
La da da da
Of all of my parts
The strange and the smart
This impulsive and fun
Or the getting stuff done
The sleeping for days
Or the whole month of May
I've gotta say
From the start
My favorite's the queen of hearts
La da da da
La da da da
There's no time for someone you don't like
For an exercise bike
Or a drink that's not spiked
And there is no time to pretend you're not gay
Because there's no time to live any other way
