KISS - 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 streets
And she was his possession like a jewel 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 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 messin' 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
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, come on
Yes, Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand
Baby 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 playing with fire, come on
Better hide your heart, hold on tight
'Cause when pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
Hide your heart, hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
Hide your heart, hold on tight
Interesting and very intriguing lyrics, guessed' it was a love triangle:) Is Johnny and Rosa the original named used ...
ReplyDeleteNow it reminds me of Jack and Rose of Titanic, but the latter I love so much.
Adding to that, there's this song that goes like this - Jimmy ... jimmy don't cry, I married your best friend John.
... not because the girl doesn't love the boy, but she waited too long for him to finally arrived from his shelled-self, the destiny fly' away and cupid's arrow instead perched on the two couple.
And what a coincidence, I saw a man, crying today no pun here please ... I pray he isn't desperate to go to a street named desire and meet some-kind-of-a-street-girl named Rosa. Anyways it do happened even to the most intelligent type.
... and I pray :)
tight hugs
thats love,,,undefinable..:)..
