Desperadowhy don t you come to your senses
You been out ridin fences for so long now
Ohyou re a hard oneI know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you can hurt you somehow

Don t you draw the queen of diamondsboy
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

Desperadooh you ain t gettin no younger
Your pain and your hungerthey re drivin you home
And freedomoh freedomwell 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
and you re losin all your highs and lows
Ain t it funny how the feelin goes away

Desperadowhy don t you come to your senses
Come down from your fencesopen the gate
It may be raininbut there s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love youlet somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
before it s too late
