Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you've 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,
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 things 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 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
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, you better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
