Johnny saw her riding on a street car named Desire
his fate was sealed She could see him coming 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 Chorus: Better hide your heart
better hold on tight Say your prayers
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 messin with someone
it was on the street Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun Johnny better run
better run Johnny s holdin Rosa on a rooftop in the night
as time stood still They couldn t hear him coming til he had them both in sight You could feel a chill A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands
with nothing won When someone lies dying
lovers finally understand
