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   Say your prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight   When pride and love, battle with desire   Better hide your heart 'cause you're playin' with fire      The ride was over but the story doesn't end   He took her heart   She looked him in the eye, 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   Better hide your heart 'cause you're playin' with fire      Johnny better run, better run      Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night   As time stood still   Couldn't hear him comin' 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 dyin' lovers finally understand      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 playin' with fire      Johnny better run, better run
