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
