Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
And freedom, oh freedom
You better let somebody love you
Let somebody love you
Songwriters: Glenn Lewis Frey, Don Henley
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
That you can't get
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Now it seems to me, some fine things
These things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow
It may be rainin', oh, but there's a rainbow above you
Before it's too late
You better let somebody love you
Well, that's just some people talkin'
But I know that you got your reasons
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts
Oh, you're a hard one
Is always your best bet
Come down from your fences, open the gate

You're losin' all, your highs and lows
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
