Robin Beck: Hide your heart lyrics

Robin Beck

Hide your heart

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 street

She was his possession like a jewel in his crown

Johnny better run better run

Better hide your heart better hold on tight

Better 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 messing 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

Better 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

Johnny's holding Rosa on a roof-top 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

A shot rang out like thunder

And the blood was on her hands

With nothing won when someone lies there dying

Lovers finally understand

Better hide your heart better hold on tight

Better 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

When all alone what do we desire

Better hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire

When pride and love battle with desire

Better hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire
