Johnny’s holdin’ Rosa on a rooftop in the night
And said they couldn’t meet again
Better hide your heart
When pride and love battle with desire
You could feel the chill
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Tito, he was king op the streets
Johnny better run, better run
As time stood still they couldn’t hear him comin’
Better say your prayers
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
It was on the street
It was no big deal
The word went out that Rosa’s messin’ with someone
You could see the trouble start
He took her heart, she looked him in the eye
A shot rang out like thunder
Better hide your heart
With nothing won when someone lies there dyin’
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
The ride was over but the story doesn’t end
Better hold on tight
Till he had them both in sight
'Cause there’s trouble tonight
And the blood was on her hands
Johnny better run, better run
'Cause you’re playin’ with fire
She could see him comin’ like a hundred other liars
