Desperada (Single Edit)

I wandered into this 'ol cantina

Just a little north of old Mexico

I saw you dancin' with a pool cue

Pretty bourbon eyes and hair as black as coal

You smiled and leaned across that green felt

You said I play for keeps and you made my heart melt

Desperada

You know how to put a cowboy on his knees

Desperada

Won’t you let me up now, pretty please

Somehow you left me the cash to cover

Pickin' up the tab for your favorite bottle

You were a smooth one and burned like fire

As we shared a dance and sipped that Reposado

We walked through the square to the hotel right across

And behind closed doors, I slipped your boots off

 

Desperada

You know how to put a cowboy on his knees

Desperada

Won’t you let me up now, pretty please

Pretty please

        

That rooster crowin' my eyes open

Woke me to all I could find

A goodbye note, a lipstick kiss

And underneath just your name signed

Desperada

You smiled and leaned right into me

You played for keeps and I felt it

Desperada

We shared a dance, you took my hand

Behind closed doors you took my heart and kept it
