Kiss - Hide Your Heart Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
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

[chorus]

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

[chorus...]

    Johnny saw her riding on a street car named Desire

    I had this when it came out but i was listening to Phil Hendries old shows and he has some of this as bumper music . Early 2000's was a good time . Security supervisor in an office where no one will screw with you. 9 to midnight Phil Hendrie . Always appreciated his taste in bumper music Kiss , Static x , Scorpions , Metallica . Almost 20 years ago fuck.

  20. F.... F....

    I love this song

  21. A.... S....

    I recently listened to an Eddie Trunk Podcast with Holly Knight, who wrote this tune. I didn't recall this song, so I looked it up. solid!

  22. T.... ....

    This song got me thru high school. Thanks KISS.

  23. J.... C....

    I miss the days of great music like this. Man the 80's were awesome.

  24. t.... ....

    The video for this song is fantastic, but whenever someone puts it up, it gets taken down. Why the hell can’t KISS get it on their channel?

  25. J.... P....

    One of my favorite Kiss songs

  26. W.... V....

    Everytime I listen to this one I cant help starting to dance...XD ...its so infectiously catchyyyyyyyy!!!!

  36. S.... ....

    Listen to Ace Frehley's verson. Holly Knight songwriter was on Eddie Trunk's Volume show today. Ace's version is her favorite.

    S.... ....

  37. F.... F....

    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 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
    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
    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
    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

  39. M.... E....

    Great song :)

  40. W.... S....

    I love this album

  41. R.... C....

    La banda más grande del universo y sus alrededores.

  42. M.... G....

    Johnny better run better ruuun!

  43. R.... G....

    A melhor!!!!!

  44. r.... d....

    such a amazing song .... I was so stuck on the old school style of kiss that o never gave their new songs a chance ....this one is just freaking kick ass

  45. H.... G....

    god bring Bruce Kullick back to kiss!

    H.... G....

    Helton Gomes god no

  46. M.... M....

    I like ace version better!!

  47. A.... A....

    Who wrote that song? I'm a little confused cause Ace Frehley sang it too

    A.... A....

    Paul Stanley /
    Desmond Child /
    Holly Knight .
    ( Bonnie Tyler sang it too . Find your favourite version ) .

  48. A.... W....

    Paul Stanley voice is annoying

  49. A.... W....

    ACE FREHLEY version better. 🤗🤗😂😘🤗🤗🤗

    A.... W....

    I listened to it  to see if you were right........Ace's has better guitar, Paul sings it better

    A.... W....

    Tim Fremstad Bruce Kulick is way better than Ace!

  50. J.... N....

    Useless crap from Kiss.

    J.... N....

    Jan Nilsson that’s exactly why he’s worth $150 million and you still owe $1,700 on a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick

    J.... N....

    @Seminole Nation Do I? My god I did not know I had a motorbike, but if you say so...….

  51. L.... G....

    I'd stopped buying KISS LPs by that time, but it sounds good.....

  52. F.... S....

    WHAT A GREAT VERSION OF THIS GREAT SONG. PAUL STANLEY WAS RIGHT, ABOUT ROCK+ROLL HALL OF FAME TREATMENT OF KISS+THEIR MUSIC +FANS. SUPERB BAND WITH GREAT MUSIC, I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. "KISS" MY ASS ANY DETRACTORS.....P.A.B.

  53. R.... D....

    Love this song. 😍 LONG LIVE KISS......FOREVER..!!!! 💙💜💖

  54. J.... L....

    I was at this album concert. Last one for Eric Carr. RIP

  55. E.... G....

    I LOVE YOU PAUL STANLEY SO MUCH!!! I MET ALL THE KISS MEN. THEY ARE ALL SO SEXY AND COOL. I LOVE THEM ALL.☺☺☺😙😗😘😚ESPECIALLY PAUL STANLEY!!! THE MAN WAS HOT AS A PEPPER AND STILL IS. BLESS YOU ALL!!!

  56. t.... v....

    Really good melody.

  57. P.... ....

    underrated kiss album. i remember listening to "king of hearts" off this album endlessly during uni when it came out....

    P.... ....

    You my friend have solid taste in music... at least for liking KOH. It's my favorite song from Hot in the shade.

  58. R.... K....

    ..."Thanks-" BOBZGT🏁🇺🇸🏆🎼🎶

  59. C.... B....

    This song is pretty cheesy, especially when he sings "Tito, he was king of the streets", "You could see the trouble start" and "You could feel a chill."

  60. R.... S....

    Música que ouço quando malho 😂😂😂

  61. �.... ....

    私の青春

  62. G.... d....

    Melhor album dos anos 90.

  63. R.... C....

    Paul Stanley, Holly Knight and Desmond Child wrote this song together, not Michael Bolton like some people think. But Michael Bolton did write a kick ass song back in the early 80s when he played hard rock, "Everybody's Crazy".

  64. F.... S....

    I will forever love kiss in any version and 99.9% of their music

  65. V.... P....

    Show 🎸😎👊

  66. M.... P....

    Tito fired the fatal shot and Johnny lay dying in the girls arms by a bullet-a Latino love story with a tragic end never mess with a gangleaders girlfriend and you will pay the price for it.

  67. M.... P....

    Don't mess with a gangleaders girlfriend-and Johnny paid a price in blood and a young girl caught in the middle of a gang turf war.

  68. 8.... ....

    Paul Stanley = THE rock star!!

  69. J.... 8....

    this should have been a Top10 Mainstream Hit Single.

  70. �.... �....

    Потрясающе!!!!!

  71. M.... P....

    Fuckin Johnny

  72. A.... Z....

    Kiss is the best

  73. k.... t....

    I like this and Bonnie Tyler's version equally.

  74. E.... S....

    Una de las ,mejores portadas de los discos de kiss y del rock en general.

  75. A.... S....

    I fucking love this song...almost 2019, and still as fresh and amazing as it did in 1989! Thank u for the upload :)

  76. J.... Z....

    So not ace

  77. M.... ....

    Wonderful!!

  78. B.... S....

    Great song. And the late-80's was not particularly kind to Kiss.

  79. R.... G....

    MICHAEL Bolton wrote this song oringaly

    R.... G....
