[Intro] Oh, let that horn cry— I’ve got something to say. [Verse 1] I walked in this evening, dressed in midnight blue, Yes, I walked in this evening, dressed in midnight blue, Every eye turned my way, but I was looking straight through you. [Verse 2] You spent my Sunday money, then came begging Monday night, You spent my Sunday money, then came begging Monday night, I may sing about my troubles, but that don’t mean you treated me right. [Refrain] I’m the queen of the midnight stage, I turn my heartache into gold. When the band strikes up behind me, Even bad news does what it’s told. [Verse 3] You said I’d fall without you—now listen to this crowd, You said I’d fall without you—now listen to this crowd, I found my voice the day I quit loving you out loud. [Final Refrain] I’m the queen of the midnight stage, With a spotlight for my throne. I can make the whole room love me— And I can leave that room alone. [Outro] Play it low, boys— The queen is going home.
