Open Your Heart

Madonna · Celebration [2009]

(Spoken:)

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



Chorus:



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



(chorus)



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



(chorus)



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

(repeat and fade)

The recording features a driving rhythm and melodic hooks characteristic of her work in the late 2000s, positioning it alongside other key tracks from the era such as "Frozen" and "Who's That Girl." As part of her broader discography, the song reflects her continued evolution as a performer who seamlessly integrates personal expression with commercial appeal, maintaining her status as a defining figure in pop music history.
