Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Neath) is a Welsh singer. Born into a large working-class family of six children, her father worked as a miner while her mother, an opera fan, shared her love of music with her children. Influenced by the music of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, as a teen she sang with a group called "Bobby Wayne and the Dixies," following which she formed her own band, calling it Imagination. Adopting different stage names until settling on Bonnie Tyler, for nearly a decade she and her band performed at pubs and nightclubs all over South Wales. In 1975 Bonnie Tyler recorded her first single for RCA Records called "My My Honeycomb" that failed to make the charts.

Hide Your Heart Lyrics
Bonnie Tyler
(desmond child/paul stanley/holly knight)
Producer for bonnie: desmond child
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 op 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 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 better run, better run...
Johnnys holdin rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldnt 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....
