Kenny Rogers - Desperado Lyrics

SUNG BY KENNY ROGERS

DESPERADO, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES,
YOU'VE BEEN OUT RIDIN FENCES FOR SO LONG NOW,
OH AND YOU'RE A HARD ONE, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT YOUR REASONS,
THE THINGS THAT ARE 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 ALWAYS YOUR BEST BET.
NOW IT SEEMS TO ME SOME FINE THINGS HAVE BEEN 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,
AND FREEDOM, OH FREEDOM, WELL 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 NIGHTTIME FROM THE DAY.
AND 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- OPEN THE GATES.
IT扴 RAINING, (RAINING, RAINING) BUT THERE'S A RAINBOW ABOVE YOU
YOU'D BETTER LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU
(LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU.)
YOU'D BETTER LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU,
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE (DESPERADO) MMMMM
