Hide Your Heart

Johnny saw her ridin’ on a streetcar named "Desire"
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin’ 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
Better say your prayers ‘cause there’s trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart ‘cause you’re playin’ with fire

ah, ah, ah, ah—ah hey, hey, hey, hey—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
Better say your prayers ‘cause there’s trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart ‘cause you’re playin’ with fire

ah, ah, ah, ah—ah hey, hey, hey, hey—do, do, do, do

Johnny’s holdin’ Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn’t hear him comin’ till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill

A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dyin’ lovers finally understand

Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers ‘cause there’s trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart ‘cause you’re playin’ with fire

ah, ah, ah, ah—ah hey, hey, hey, hey—do, do, do, do

When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart ‘cause you’re playin’ with fire

ah, ah, ah, ah—ah hey, hey, hey, hey—do, do, do, do

When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart ‘cause you’re playin’ with fire....

I’m Not Foolin’

Now I’ve known for a while there’s been something going on
And I’ve been getting the impression that I’m not the only one
And if that’s the way you want it then you’ll have to make a-new
So listen ’til I tell you just what I’m gonna do

I don’t want you to lie to me
‘Cause I won’t take it anymore
And if I find that you’ve cheat on me
I’m just gonna walk right out the door

I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’ anymore
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
No, I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’—oh no—anymore

I can’t stop thinking how you hurt me once before
And I’m acting kinda crazy ‘cause I feel so insecure
‘Cause I gave you all the loving that a man could ever need
I’m a one-man-woman, that’s the way I’ll always be

You gotta try to understand
Why it’s just gotta be this way
And if you know what’s good for you
You’d better take notice of what I say

I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’ anymore
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
No, I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’—oh

I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’ anymore
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
No, I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score
Ooh....

Oh, I’m not foolin’
Not foolin’ anymore
I’ve got my eyes wide open
Gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
No, I’m not foolin’
I’m not foolin’—oh no—anymore

I’m not foolin’
Not foolin’ anymore
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
You know I’m not foolin’
I’ve got my eyes wide open, gonna even up the score

I’m not foolin’
Not foolin’

Under Suspicion

I put my trust in you ‘cos I’m not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that there’s someone on your mind
And maybe I’m wrong and maybe there’s some mistake
But I won’t take any chances, I’m watching every mover you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time

When we talk I can see you can’t look me straight in the eye
What’s all the secrecy, you got me wondering why
Is there someone you met to make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Don’t try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think you’re pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time

Instrumental

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion

Instrumental

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time

Total Eclipse of the Heart

(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming round
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes

(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I’d see the look in your eyes

(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever

And we’ll only be making it right
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don’t know what to do
And I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks!

I really need you tonight!
Forever’s gonna start tonight!
Forever’s gonna start tonight!

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do—a total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say—a total eclipse of the heart....

(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever

And we’ll only be making it right
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don’t know what to do
And I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks!

I really need you tonight!
Forever’s gonna start tonight!
Forever’s gonna start tonight!

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do—a total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say—a total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

(turn around, bright eyes)
(turn around, bright eyes)
(turn around)
(ooh) …
