Desperado Why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences For so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy she'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger they're driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be raining But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
