Hide Your Heart

Johnny saw her ridin on a streetcar named 'Desire'
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal.

Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king op the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run.

Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers
'Cause theres trouble tonight.

When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart
'Cause youre playin with fire.

The ride was over but the story doesnt end
He took her heart, she looked him in the eye
And said they couldnt meet again
You could see the trouble start.

The word went out that Rosas messin with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run.

Johnnys holdin Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still they couldnt hear him comin
Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill.

A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won when someone lies there dyin
Lovers finally understand.
