Hide Your Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named Desire,
his fate was sealed
She could've see him coming like a hundred other guys,
Was no big deal
Once I 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
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 was messin' with someone,
it was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run
CHORUS
Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night,
as the 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
Someone has to die,
and they finally understand
CHORUS
