Hide Your Heart Lyrics

Hide Your Heart lyrics

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 of 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 players 

 Cause there's trouble tonight 

 When pride and love battle with desire 

 Better hide your heart 

 Cause you're playing with fire 

 The ride was over but the story doesn't end 

 He took her heart 

 She looked him in the eye 

 And said they couldn't meet again 

 You could see the trouble start 

 The word went out that Rosa's missing with someone 

 It was on the street 

 Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun 

 Johnny better run, better run? 

 Johnny's holding Rosa on a rooftop in the night 

 As time stood still 

 They couldn't hear him coming 

 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 dying 

 Lovers finally understand
