Hart became an instant hit with his rebellious looks, and his first album released in 1983 First Offense, featuring the hit song Sunglasses at Night. The album sold well in both Canada and the United States. The follow-up album was Boy in the Box in 1985, another very successful album featuring the song Never Surrender, which would be his highest-charting single. Hart would continue to record music, but his commercial success was significantly reduced after Box.
Today, Hart lives in the Bahamas with his wife, musician Julie Masse, and their four children.
Everything In My Heart
Corey Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still I follow you
Couldn't imagine how
Or what I'm supposed to do
Ah maybe I've been crazy
Only thinking of you
I'll do it again
Through the longest nights
Oh I know them so well
I keep forgetting my place
And I stumbled 'til I fell
So easy it's so easy
To never see the truth
Do you remember
I said to give you
Everything in my heart
Give you everything in my heart
Give you everything in my soul
(I said) for you
And sometimes when my heart is so cold
And you cut me out and you're so hard to hold
I keep searching
I want to get through to you
I keep on searching
Oh, I want to break through to you
Again and again
Oh maybe I've been crazy
Only thinking of you
But I'll do it again
To give you everything in my heart
Give you everything in my heart
Give you everything in my soul
(I said) for you, and I'll do it again
Give you everything in my heart
Give you everything in my heart
Even though, everything in my soul
(I said) for you and I'll do it again
Everything in my heart
I'll give it to you now
It's okay
It's alright
Every little thing in my heart
Every little, every little thing in my heart
The song "Take My Heart" by Corey Hart is about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The singer is deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. Despite this, he continues to follow and pursue them, even though he knows it's not healthy or rational. The lyrics reveal a vulnerability and a willingness to give everything to this person, including his heart and soul. He knows it's a risk to continue down this path, but he's willing to take it anyway.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as he admits to blindly following this person, even when there is no light to guide him. He's so focused on this individual that he can't imagine his life without them. The second verse shows that the relationship has been challenging for the singer, and he's struggled to maintain his composure and sense of self. Despite this, he keeps going, even when he feels like he's stumbled and fallen.
The chorus is the heart of the song, showcasing the singer's intense desire to give everything he has to this person, even though he knows it might never be enough. The bridge adds another layer of desperation, as he pleads with this person to let him in and break through to their heart. He's willing to keep trying, even though he's been hurt and rejected multiple times.
Overall, "Take My Heart" is a powerful ballad that explores the complicated emotions of unreciprocated love. It's a relatable theme that many people have experienced at some point in their lives, and Corey Hart captures it perfectly through his lyrics and emotive vocals.

Corey's back! He just played here in Newfoundland on his birthday (57) on May 31, 2019. Was gracious, humble, and adored. One of the audience presented him with a cake and he was moved to tears.
