Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar desire His fate was She see him comin' like a hundred other liars It was no big
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of Tito, he was of the streets She was his like a jewel on his crown Johnny run, better run
Better hide your heart, hold on tight Say prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight When pride and love, with desire Better hide heart 'cause you're playin' with fire
The ride was over but the doesn't end He her heart She looked him in the eye, said they couldn't again You see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' someone It was on the looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun Johnny run, better run
Better hide heart, better hold on tight Say prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight pride and love, battle with desire Better hide your heart 'cause you're with fire
Johnny run, better run
Johnny's Rosa on a rooftop in the night As time stood Couldn't hear him comin' till he had them both in You feel the chill
A rang out like thunder and the blood was on her hands nothing won When someone lies there lovers finally understand
Better hide your heart, better on tight Say your prayers 'cause trouble tonight pride and love, battle with desire Better hide your heart 'cause you're playin' with
Johnny better run, run
