?Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You been out riding' fences for so long now Oh you're a hard one But I know that you've 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 The queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon you 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 drivin' 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 wintertime 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 gotta let somebody love you, (Let somebody love you You better let somebody love you Before it's too late
