Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding 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
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 you can't get.
Desperado
you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well that's just some people talking.
Your prison is walking
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.
And you're losing
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 gates.
It may be rainin,
but there's a rainbow above you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
Let somebody love you.
You'd better let somebody love you,
before it's too late.
