Desperado  Why don't you come to your senses  Ben out ridin' fences, for so long now  Oh, you're a hard one   But I know that you got your reasons  These things that are pleasin' 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  But it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table  But you only want the ones 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  And 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 those fences, open the gate  It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you  You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you  You better let somebody love you  Before it's too late
