Desperado Why don't you come to your senses? You've been riding out fences, for so long now Oh, you're a hard one... I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasing you Can hurt you somehow... No point of being in denial The greatest tragedy is when you deny your heart It is the only truth we know, the only thing in our bodies that does not lie you need her...it's intuition When she's not in the room, you wish she was And when she is in the room, you hope that she never leaves I know you're afraid of being hurt again But that wasn't her fault, don't make her pay for others mistakes You guard your heart so carefully, afraid to let anyone in You don't want to enjoy a good thing for too long Because you fear that it will someday go away And you will be left out in the cold again With your heart torn out and placed in your hand But just let it go and let her in...you've been exhaling for far too long Time to inhale once again... Desperado... Oh, you ain't getting any younger Your pain and your hunger they're driving you home Your freedom, oh your freedom, oh that's just some people talking Your prison is walking through this world all alone You've got it bad, just let her in You've memorized the way she smells during different parts of the day In the morning she smells like spring Exuberant and refreshing In the afternoon she smells like winter Tangy and nippy In the evening she smells like summer Lamb and youthful During the night she smells like home Familiar and inviting When your asleep you dream of her And when your awake you day dream of her You've hidden the keys to your heart and changed the locks Time to call the locksmith and let her in Its where she belongs Desperado... Why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences It may be raining, but there is a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you Before its too late... You thought that nothing in this world was more beautiful than a sunset Until you saw her smile... Cheek to cheek her smile enveloped you Lighting up not the room, but your very heart You better tell her how you feel... Before your hidden love drives her away So tell her already Before its too late |
