Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out mendin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons
These things that been pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hearts is a girl [Incomprehensible]

It seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you always want the ones you can't get

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, call it a day
It may be 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, too late
