Sides face grand square
Desperado, why don't you
Come to your senses
You've been out riding fences
For so long now, allemande and weave
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow

Heads promenade her halfway
Sides square thru to four now
Go all the way a right & left thru
Eight chain 6 cross you do
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
Swing that girl and promenade her home now
But you only want the ones
That you can't get

Sides face grand square
Desperado, oh you ain't
Getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home, Allemande and weave
And freedom, oh freedom
Well that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this
World all alone

Sides face grand square
Desperado, why don't you
Come to your senses
Come down from your fences
Open the gate, Allemande and weave
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you
