Lyrics Desperado - Kenny Rogers

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 you got your reasons
The things that are pleasin' you, will hurt you somehow

Don't you call on the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
Have laid upon your table
But you always want the things you can't get

Desperado, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't show and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night-time from the day
Now 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 your fences and open the gates
It's rainin' (it's rainin', 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)
