Desperado
Denis & Didi Sound Lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Why don't you realize what you're doing is hurting yourself and others?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now
You've been avoiding facing your problems for a long time

Oh, you're a hard one
You're a tough and stubborn person

But I know that you got your reasons
I understand that you have your own justifications for your actions

These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
Your pursuit of pleasure can lead to self-destructive consequences

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
Don't get involved with dangerous people and situations

She'll beat you if she's able
The Queen of Diamonds will harm you if possible

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
It's better to pursue a genuine and caring relationship

Now, it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
You've been given great opportunities in life

But you only want the ones that you can't get
You're chasing after things that are unattainable or harmful

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
You're not getting any younger, so it's time to change

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Your longing for something more is causing you to return to where you started

And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
The concept of freedom may not be as important as you think

Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Your solitude and isolation are the real barriers to your happiness

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
Aren't you tired of feeling lonely and empty inside?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Nothing in life brings you joy anymore

It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You're lost and confused about your purpose in life

You're losin' all your highs and lows
You're becoming numb to all of life's experiences

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
It's sad how you've lost your ability to feel anything deeply

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Why don't you wake up and see the truth about your life?

Come down from your fences, open the gate
Stop isolating yourself and open yourself up to the world

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
Even in difficult times, there is hope and beauty to be found

You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You need to allow someone to care for you

You better let somebody love you before it's too late
You need to act now before the opportunity passes you by
