Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses,
You’ve been out rid in fences for so long now,
Oh and you’re a hard one, but I know that you’ve got your reasons,
The things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow.

Don’t you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy, shell 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 cant get.

Desperado, you aunt 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 wont snow and the sun wont shine,
Its hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
And your losing all your highs and lows,
Aunt 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 raining, but threes a rainbow above you.
You’d better let somebody love you,
LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU.
You’d better let somebody love you,
before its too late.
