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
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

Ah ah ah ah
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do do do do do

Ah ah ah ah
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do 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

Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Say your prayers
'Cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart
'Cause you're playing with fire

Come on
Ah ah ah ah
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do do do do do

Ah ah ah ah
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do do do do do...yeah

Listen
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

Oh
Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Say your prayers
'Cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart
'Cause you're playing with fire

Ah ah ah ah (Hide your heart)
Hey hey hey (Hold on tight)
Do do do do do do do do do

Ah ah ah ah ('Cause when pride and love)
Hey hey hey (Battle with desire)
Do do do do do do do do do (Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire)

Ah ah ah ah (Hide your heart)
Hey hey hey (yeah)
Do do do do do do do do do (Hold on tight)

Ah ah ah ah (Say your prayers)
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do do do do do ('Cause there's trouble tonight)

Ah ah ah ah

Do do do do do do do do do (yeah, yeah)

Ah ah ah ah (When pride and love)
Hey hey hey (Battle with desire)
Do do do do do do do do do (Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire)

Ah ah ah ah (Hide your heart)
Hey hey hey
Do do do do do do do do do (Hold on tight)

Cadillac Dreams

When I was seventeen
Found out just what it means
If you can get it free
It just ain't worth a damn

When I heard the preacher say
Don't throw your life away
I got that message
And I wrote it on the wall

I don't want anybody tellin' me lies
No, I don't want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain't got my size

I want money, money
That's what I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Please mister don'tcha take it from me

Give me money, money
More than I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Waitin' on me

I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way
There's a heartbreak every day

Stone cold reality
Came crashing down on me
Well life was hard on me
But I still don't give a damn

When I was seventeen
I was an angry young man
But I won't let just anybody
Tell me who I am

Just want money, money
That's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Hey mister don'tcha take it from me

Give me money, money
More than I need
These Cadillac dreams
Are waitin' on me

Until this dream was born
You can't take that away
You can't take that away from me...no, no

Yeah...now dig this
When I was seventeen
There was this beauty queen
Checked in a one room suite
The back seat of my car...ha

When you want all the best things money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you
To reach up to the sky

Yeah, I want money, money
That's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Hey mister you can't take that from me

Yeah, I want money, money
More than I need
I got Cadillac dreams
Waitin' on me

Cadillac dreams

Sometimes I wonder why
I can't hurt you
Oh, I can't hurt you
