And the last song dedication to the baby (who's hiding from me).



[Intro]
Watch out!

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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, darling
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darling
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

[Post-Chorus]
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

[Bridge]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darling
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

[Post-Chorus]
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number

[Bridge]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darling
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key

[Post-Chorus]
Open your heart with the key

[Outro]
Open your heart, I'll make you love me (Come on, baby)
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key (I'm gonna get to you)
Open your heart, I'll make you love me (Ow, come on, baby)
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key (Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out)
Open your heart, I'll make you love me (Ow, come on, baby)
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key (Watch out, watch out, watch out)
Open your heart, I'll make you love me (I'm gonna get to you)
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key (Mmm, come on baby).
(--Madonna "Open Your Heart" 1986 ).  

ou don't have to open your heart, but I hope you'll like it like I did back in 1986 when it first came out.  Here's another one:
"Working monday through friday
Takes up all of my time
If I can get to the weekend
Everything will work out just fine
That's when I can go crazy
That's when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Couldn't wait to get older
Thought I'd have so much fun
Guess I'm one of the grown-ups
Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
I'm not living in fear
I'm just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how
I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Where's the party
Where's the party, someone tell me
Where's the party, come on, come on, come on
Where's the party
Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how
I'm ready now
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now
Where's the party
Where's the party, someone tell me
Where's the party, come on, come on, come on
Where's the party
We can make it all right
We can make you dance
We can make a party last all night
We can make it all right
We can make you dance
We can make a party last all night"
(Where's the party?  Released:
October 1983)
