Desperado, why don't you
come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences
for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are
pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of
diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats
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
gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well,
that's just some people talkin'
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 night time
from the day
You're loosin' 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 rainin',
but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody
love you,
You better let somebody
love you,
before it's too late
