Lyrics
I Love Desperados
Words and Music by Marilyn Hall, BMI
OUT IN THE WEST, WE'RE TAKIN' A BREAK
TIME OUT FOR A STROLL THROUGH THE SQUARE
WE'LL PROBABLY TALK OF THE WEATHER
WHILE BREATHIN' IN WEST TEXAS AIR
WE COULD PLAY HEARTS OR SCRABBLE
OR BREAK OUT A HANK WILLIAM'S TUNE
WE CAN'T COMPLAIN WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE
WITH SO MUCH FOR LADIES TO DO
BUT SOMETIMES I WANT MORE ADVENTURE
TO COME WALKIN' RIGHT THROUGH THAT DOOR
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS, BUT I MUST CONFESS
I LOVE THE WILD SIDE MORE
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND ALL THOSE THAT PLAY AT THE GAME
POKER FACED GAMBLERS AND LONG-LEGGED AMBLERS
AIN'T LOOKIN' FOR ANYTHING TAME
THEY'LL LOVE YOU AND LEAVE YOU
CAPTURE AND TEASE YOU
BUT THEN YOU'VE BEEN RICH IN GOOD TIMES
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND SIPPIN' ON YESTERDAY'S WINE
KATRINA'S CANTINA WAS WHERE I HAD SEEN YA
MEANDERED MY WAY TO A CHAIR
WENT THERE FOR A LOOK AND MAYBE I TOOK
A FEW MOMENTS TO SEE WHAT WAS THERE
TOOK LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THEN I WAS IN IT
THE ONE WITH THE COME HITHER STARE
HE LOOKED RIGHT THROUGH ME AND CAME RIGHT UP TO ME
MAMA, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME AIR
SO WE HAD A COOL ONE AND THEN HE DID RUN
BUT THE MINUTES WITH HIM WERE ALL MINE
IN THAT CANTINA, MY FIRST DESPERADO
AND I HAD MY MOMENT IN TIME
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND ALL THOSE THAT PLAY AT THE GAME
POKER FACED GAMBLERS AND LONG-LEGGED AMBLERS
AIN'T LOOKIN' FOR ANYTHING TAME
THEY'LL LOVE YOU AND LEAVE YOU
CAPTURE AND TEASE YOU
BUT THEN YOU'VE BEEN RICH IN GOOD TIMES
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND SIPPIN' ON YESTERDAY'S WINE
WILD WEST DESPERADOS, DIAMONDS, THE COLLECTABLE KIND
THEY MAY BE ROUGH, BUT I LIKE 'EM TOUGH
WHY DO I LIKE OUTLAWS, WHY?
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND ALL THOSE THAT PLAY AT THE GAME
POKER FACED GAMBLERS AND LONG-LEGGED AMBLERS
AIN'T LOOKIN' FOR ANYTHING TAME
THEY'LL LOVE YOU AND LEAVE YOU
CAPTURE AND TEASE YOU
BUT THEN YOU'VE BEEN RICH IN GOOD TIMES
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND SIPPIN' ON YESTERDAY'S WINE
O-OH
I LOVE DESPERADOS AND ALL THEIR BRAVADOS
AND SIPPIN' ON YESTERDAY'S WINE
