Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

You've 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

Will 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

But 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

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 better let somebody love you, let somebody love you

Better let somebody love you, (before it's too late)

Better let somebody love you, (before it's too late)
