[Verse 1]

I see you from a distance

From beyond the fence you've made

(Ah-ah-ah) Hiding all your feelings

Behind your barricade

Oh, have you been invaded?

Is this the reason why you hide?

(Ah-ah-ah) I know just how you're feeling

I know, let me inside

[Chorus]

Open the gate up

Open the gate up, hurry

Open the gate up

Hurry

[Verse 2]

I want to get near you

But you just won't let me in

(Ah-ah-ah) 'Cause you're so scared of losing

Everything you've got within

Come on now, you can trust me

Come on, and open the door

(Ah-ah-ah) 'Cause I know just how you're feeling

I know, I've been there before

[Chorus]

Open the gate up

Open the gate up, hurry

Open the gate up

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

[Bridge]

And do it right now, do it right now

Do it right now, do it right now

Hurry

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Mmm, and do it right now, do it right now

Do it right now, do it right now

And do it right now, do it right now

Do it right now, do it right now

Hurry

[Chorus]

Open the gate up

Open the gate up, hurry

Open the gate up

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

[Outro]

Open the gate up, well, open the gate up

Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down

Open the gate up, well, open the gate up

Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down

Open the gate up, well, open the gate up

Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down

Open the gate up, well, open the gate up

Or I'm gonna knock the damn door down, down
