Open the door
Eddie Cochran · Nervous Breakdown [2009]
Open the door, open the door
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Open the door and baby let me in
Yes open the door, then close it back again
Open the door, well baby let me in
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Open the door, you set my heart a-flame
Yes open the door, I'll never be the same
Open the door, to win you is my aim
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Oh baby you knew, you knew I'd follow you
No matter how far
Well-well-well, if you don't say you love me baby
Gal, my lovin's not up to part
Open the door, and baby let me in
Yes open the door, then close it back again
Open the door, well baby let me in
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
(Oh won't you open up that everlovin' door)
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Open the door and baby let me in
Yes open the door, then close it back again
Open the door, well baby let me in
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Open the door, you set my heart a-flame
Yes open the door, I'll never be the same
Open the door, to win you is my aim
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
Oh baby you knew, you knew I'd follow you
No matter how far
Well-well-well, if you don't say you love me baby
Gal, my lovin's not up to part
Open the door, and baby let me in
Yes open the door, then close it back again
Open the door, well baby let me in
I'm just a step, step away from your heart
(Oh won't you open up that everlovin' door)
Open the door - Eddie Cochran
Eddie Cochran's 'Open the door' stands as a quintessential example of 1950s rock and roll, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the era. Recorded for his album Nervous Breakdown, the track showcases Cochran's signature vocal style, blending a gritty delivery with driving instrumentation that defined the genre's sound. The song reflects the cultural shift toward youth autonomy and the thrill of the open road, themes central to Cochran's discography. As a staple of rock history, it remains a powerful representation of mid-century American music, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to capture the same urgent, untamed emotion in their own recordings.
