Hide Your Heart Lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

(Desmond Child/Paul Stanley/Holly Knight) 

Producer for Bonnie: Desmond Child 

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 op 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 

Better 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 

Ah, ah, ah, ah/ hey, hey, hey/do, do, do, do... 

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 messin' with someone 

It was on the street 

Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun 

Johnny better run, better run...

Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night 

As time stood still 

They 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...
