You opened up your soul.  

All I could ask for.

You opened up your heart, then you walked away

You don’t really know what it is to maintain.

You certainly know how to live with the pain.

What about the Joy in Life?

What about the Hope in Love?

Yeah, you’ve gotta Open Your Heart, babe.

Now’s a great time to start, babe.

You opened up your arms.  

You were more than I could ask for.

You opened up your heart, then you walked away.

You don’t really know what it is to maintain.

You certainly know how to live with the pain.

What about the Joy in Life?

What about the Hope in Love?

Yeah, you’ve gotta Open Your Heart, babe.

Now’s a great time to start, babe.

You’ve gotta Open Your Heart.

I may never understand why you drew me in,

just to push me away again and again.

What I want for you is that you can find Trust in Love.

What about the Joy in Life?

What about the Hope in Love?

Yeah, you’ve gotta Open Your Heart, babe.

Now’s a great time to start, babe.

You’ve gotta Open Your Heart.
