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'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 you can't get

Desperado, oh you ain't

gettin no younger

Your pain and your hunger,

they're drivin you home

And freedom, oh freedom, well

that's just some people talkin

Your prison is walkin

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

And you're losin all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin 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, let somebody love you,

You better let somebody love you,

Before it's too late
