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
|
Will hurt you somehow
|
|
Don't you try 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 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 walking 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 feeling 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
|
(let somebody love you)
|
You better let somebody love you
|
