Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?   You been out ridin' fences for so long now   Oh, you're a hard one   And I know that you’ve got your reasons   These things that are pleasin' you   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, that 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, 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   Well 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,   You better let somebody love you, before it's too late   It’s too late
