Desperado

Sitting in an old Monte Carlo

A man whose heart is hollow

Take it easy, I'm not tryna go against you

Actually, I'm going with you

Gotta get up out of here and you ain't leaving me behind

I know you won't 'cause we share common interests

You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind

Never, no, no, just want out of here, yeah

Once I'm gone, ain't no goin' back

If you want we could be runaways

Running from any sight of love

Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me

There ain't nothing here for me anymore

But I don't wanna be alone

Desperado

Sitting in an old Monte Carlo

We've both had our hearts broke up

Take it easy, I'm not trying to go against you

I can be a lone wolf with ya

Gotta get up out of here and you ain't leaving me behind

I know you won't 'cause we share common interests

You need me, there ain't no leaving me behind

Never, no, no, both want out of here, yeah

Once we're gone, ain't no goin' back

If you want, we could be runaways

Running from any sight of love

Yeah, yeah, there ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' here for me

There ain't nothin' here for me anymore

I don't wanna be alone

Dear desperado

There ain't nothin' here for me anymore

But I don't wanna be alone

If you want, we could be runaways

Running from any sight of love

There ain't nothin' here for me anymore
