Open the Gate Lyrics by No Doubt

The Beacon Street Collection

1995

[Verse 1]
I see you from a distance
From beyond the fence you've made
Hiding all your feelings
Behind your barricade
Oh, have you been invaded?
Is this the reason why you hide?
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
'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
'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
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
