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 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
And it seems to me 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, well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' 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
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
(Let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
A man whose heart is hollow
Take it easy, I'm not tryna go against you
Actually, I'm going with you
Gotta get up out of here and you ain't leaving me behind
I know you won't 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, just want out of here, yeah
Once I'm gone, ain't no goin' back
If you want we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me
There ain't nothing here for me anymore
But I don't wanna be alone
Desperado
Sitting in an old Monte Carlo
We've both had our hearts broke up
Take it easy, I'm not trying to go against you
I can be a lone wolf with ya
Gotta get up out of here and you ain't leaving me behind
I know you won't 'cause we share common interests
You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind
Never, no, no, both want out of here, yeah
Once we're gone, ain't no goin' back
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me
There ain't nothin' here for me anymore
I don't wanna be alone
Dear desperado
Yeah, I don't wanna be alone
Dear desperado
Yeah, I don't wanna be alone
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me
There ain't nothin' here for me anymore
But I don't wanna be alone
If you want, we could be runaways
Running from any sight of love
Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me
There ain't nothin' here for me anymore
But I don't wanna be alone, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
