Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
A man whose heart is hollow
Uh-huh, take it easy
I’m not tryna go against you
Actually, I’m going with ya
Gotta get up out of here
And you ain’t leaving me behind
I know you won't, 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain’t no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, just want out of here
Yeah, once we're gone, ain’t no going back
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain’t nothing
There ain’t nothing here for me
There ain’t nothing here for me anymore
But I don’t wanna be alone
Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
We've both had our hearts broken
Take it easy
I'm not tryna go against you
I can be a lone wolf with ya
Gotta get up out of here
And you ain’t leaving me behind
I know you won't, 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain’t no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, both flying out of here
Yeah, once we're gone, ain’t no going back
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain’t nothing
There ain’t nothing here for me
There ain’t nothing here for me anymore
I don’t wanna be alone
Dear desperado
Yeah, I don’t wanna be alone
Dear desperado
Yeah, I don’t wanna be alone
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain’t nothing
There ain’t nothing here for me
There ain’t nothing here for me anymore
But I don’t wanna be alone
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain’t nothing
There ain’t nothing here for me
There ain’t nothing here for me anymore
But I don’t wanna be alone
Yeah-yeah-ah
Yeah-yeah-ah
Yeah-yeah-ah
Yeah-yeah-ah
Yeah-yeah-ah
Yeah-yeah-ah
