Desperado, why don`t you come to your senses
You`ve been out ridin` 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 can hurt you somehow
Don`t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
Shall 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 things 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 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 nighttime from the day
Youre 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 thegate
It may berainin`, but theres a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it`s too late
