Johnny saw her ridin on a streetcar named "desire"
His fate was sealed
She could see [bad word] 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 [bad word]  [bad word] ...

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 [bad word]  [bad word] ..

Johnnys holdin rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldnt hear [bad word] Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill
shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dyin
Lovers finally understand....
