Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
These things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow
You know the Queen of Hearts
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It may be rainin', oh, but there's a rainbow above you
Have been laid upon your table
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
But I know that you got your reasons
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
She'll beat you if she's able
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
You're losin' all, your highs and lows
That you can't get
Come down from your fences, open the gate
Well, that's just some people talkin'
You better let somebody love you
And freedom, oh freedom
Oh, you're a hard one
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Let somebody love you
Is always your best bet
You better let somebody love you
But you only want the ones
