Desperado, why don't you c ome to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know
that y ou got your reasons,
These things that are pleasin'
you can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
She'll b eat you if she's able,
You know the queen of hearts is a lways
your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been l aid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get
Desperado, oh you ain't g ettin' no younger,
Your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home
And freedom, well,
that's just s ome people talkin'
Your prison is walkin'
through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The s ky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nig ht time
from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it f unny how the feelin' goes away
Desperado, why don't you c ome to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a
ra inbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late
