 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,  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 before  it's too late
