Male
Open Your Heart (Original Rafelson Demo) - Lyric
V1
Every time I see you walk on by
All I wanna do is make you mine
But you always leave me crying in the night
I can’t keep these feelings locked inside
Pre1
I close my eyes and you’re here next to me
Lost in the magic of warm sunlight
C1
Open your heart to me, baby
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
Open your heart with the key
V2
No matter what I do or what I say
Time is always standing in our way
Caught under your spell I can’t escape
Everywhere I look I see your face
Pre2
Don’t leave me here all lone in my dreams
Wake me and make me believe in magic
C2
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
Open your heart with the key
Bridge
One is such a lonely number
Two can be free if you would only
C3
|Open your heart to me
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
Outro
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart with the key
(repeat and fade)
