Desperado Why don't you come to your senses? You've been out riding fences for so long now Ah, you're a hard one But I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you can I choose 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 one that you can't get Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home Freedom, ah, freedom, that's just some people talkin' You're a prisoner walkin' 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 nite-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 and 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
