Desperado,why don't come to your senses
you've been ridin fences for so long now
Oh you're 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 gettin no younger
your pain and your hunger
they're driving you home
freedom,oh,freedom well that's just some people talking
You 're prisners walking though this world all along
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 losin' all your highs and lows
ain't it funny how the feel'in goes away.
Desperado,why don't come to your senses
come down from your fences
open the gate it may be raining
but there's a rainhow above you
you'd better let somebody love you
(let somebody love you)
you'd better let somebody love you
before it's too late
