Hide Your Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Johnny caught a ride on a streetcar named Desire His fate was sealed She coulda seen him coming like a hundred other guys It was no big deal Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town 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 A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo [Verse 2] 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 messing with someone It was on the street Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun 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 A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo [Verse 3] 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 a chill (*brrr*) A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands With nothing won When someone has to die, you know they finally understand [Chorus] 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 A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey A-doo doo doo, doo doo doo A huh huh huh, a-hey hey hey Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
