Johnny saw her
riding on a street
car named Desire
His fate was sealed
She could see him
coming like a hundred
other guys
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover
on the shady
side of town and Tito
he was king
of the streets
And she was his
possession like
a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run
better run
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
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
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
better hide your heart
better hold on tight
Say your prayers
'cause there's
trouble tonight
When pride and love
battle with desire
hide your heart
'cause you're playing
with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
Listen
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
He 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
ooohh
Better hide your heart
better hold on tight
Say your prayers
'cause there's
trouble tonight
When pride and love
battle with desire
hide your heart
'cause you're
playing with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
When pride and love
battle with desire
hide your heart
'cause you're
playing with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, hey, hey
Do, do, do, do
do, do, do, do, do
