Your desperate ways are gonna hurt you

Your desperate ways will make you cry

You'll make your man pack up and leave you

Well I'm that man that's saying goodbye



All over town girl you've been running all over town you're livin' high

You forgot your home and the one who loves you

Well I'm that one that you left here to cry



Well your desperate ways are callin' you

Every single night and you never can say no

Some day when you're older and on your own

Your desperate ways will leave you all alone

[ guitar ]

Your desperate ways are gonna hurt you...

Well your desperate ways are callin' you...

Your desperate ways will leave you all alone

[ drums ]

Some day when you're older and on your own

Your desperate ways will leave you all alone

Yes your desperate ways will leave you all alone

Yes your desperate ways will leave you all alone
