Open Your Heart Lyrics

Watch out! I see you on the street and you walk on by You make me wanna hang my head down and cry If you gave me half a chance you'd see My desire burning inside of me But you choose to look the other way I've had to work much harder than this For something I want don't try to resist me Open your heart to me, baby I hold the lock and you hold the key Open your heart to me, darlin' I'll give you love if you, you turn the key I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes You look a little sad boy, I wonder why I follow you around but you can't see You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice So you choose to look the other way Well, I've got something to say Don't try to run I can keep up with you Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to Open your heart to me, baby I hold the lock and you hold the key Open your heart to me, darlin' I'll give you love if you, you turn the key Open your heart with the key One is such a lonely number Ah, ah, ah, ah Open your heart, I'll make you love me It's not that hard, if you just turn the key Don't try to run I can keep up with you Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to Open your heart to me, baby I hold the lock and you hold the key Open your heart to me, darlin' I'll give you love if you, you turn the key Open your heart with the key Open your heart, I'll make you love me It's not that hard, if you just turn the Keyyyyyy

Meaning of Open Your Heart

“Open Your Heart” is a desperate plea fueled by unrequited longing and frustration. Madonna embodies the role of a persistent admirer, consumed by an intense desire for someone who remains oblivious to her attention. She repeatedly urges this “baby” or “darlin’” to “open your heart,” presenting herself as possessing the key to love while the other person is paralyzed by fear or self-absorption. The lyrics reveal a cycle of observation and futile pursuit—she follows, he doesn’t notice, she repeats her demand. There's an underlying sense of urgency and determination; she won't give up, driven by a belief that “it’s not that hard” if only he would simply turn the key. The repetitive chorus emphasizes this insistent, almost obsessive, yearning for connection, highlighting themes of loneliness and the struggle to break through someone else's emotional barriers.
