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 theres trouble tonight When pride and love battle with desire Better hide your heart Cause youre playin with fire Ah, ah, ah, ah/ hey, hey, hey/do, do, do, do...
The ride was over but the story doesnt end He took her heart She looked him in the eye And said they couldnt meet again You could see the trouble start The word went out that rosas messin with someone It was on the street Tito looked for johnny with a vengeance and a gun Johnny better run, better run...
Johnnys holdin rosa on a rooftop in the night As time stood still They couldnt 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....
