Desperado, Why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences, for so long now...
Oh! You're hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons.
This things that are pleasing you, can hurt you somehow!
Don't you draw the queens of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Now the queen is hard only always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you're only one the ones, you can get
Desperado,
Oh! You ain't get no younger.
Your pain and your hunger, they'll drive you at home
And freedom! Oh! Freedom!
Well just some people talking
Your prision is walking through this world all alone!
Don't you feel get cold in the winter time,
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell in the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't funny have no feelings 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)
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
