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 j**el 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 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 noting won When someone lies there dyin' Lovers finally understand....
