Open Your Heart
Mad'House Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch out!
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me want to 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 key




Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key...

Overall Meaning

In Mad’House’s song Open Your Heart, the singer addresses a potential lover who continues to look in the other direction. The singer feels that there is a burning desire inside of her, and if only the lover would see this, then they would understand. She is frustrated because she has had to work harder for something she wants, and she wants the lover to open up to her. She holds the lock, and the lover holds the key, and if they just turned it, then she could give them the love that they deserve. The singer also thinks that the lover is afraid to look in her eyes, and she follows them around to try and get their attention. However, they are too wrapped up in themselves to notice her.


The lyrics in Open Your Heart are a message about the importance of being vulnerable and open with others in relationships. Both people hold a role in being open and honest with each other, and the singer wants the listener to understand that love is possible if they just give it a chance. The repetition of the line “Open your heart to me, baby” reinforces this message that love is possible if both people are willing to take a risk and open themselves up to the other.
