Emotions, The - Key To My Heart Lyrics






Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

If you should go away, I'll hurt today
Won't you stay?
You're the one with the key to my heart
You taught me many things while living here
When we were near-ear-ear
The one with the key to my heart

Never could be (Never could be)
Someone like you to understand (To understand)
All the hurt and pain, you're my only man
My love is yours at your command

Listen, at night I think of you, how we grew
Now I'm blue-ue-ue
The one with the key to my heart
Together we shared the world, a string of pearls
I was your girl
You're the one with the key of my heart

You unlocked the door (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
To all of the things that were part of me
I hope you'll see that you made me free
Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone)
I'm all alone, you left me

You're the key
(Won't you help me, baby)
To my heart
You're the key-ey
(Ooh)
To my heart
(Baby, hey baby)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, you're a part of me
I hope you see that you made me free
Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone)
I'm all alone, you left, you left (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
Ooh, ooh you left me alone, baby, baby
(Ooh...ooh...ooh...)
Ooh, you don't have to leave, baby, oh
Oh, ho, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, what am I gonna do so empty baby (Ooh...)
You filled my life (Ooh...)
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, baby

You're the key
To my heart
You're the key-ey
To my heart

You're the key
To my heart
You're the key-ey
To my heart

You're the key (You're the key)
To my heart (To my heart)
You're the key-ey (You're the key)
To my heart

You're the key (You're the key)
To my heart (To my heart)
You're the key-ey (You're the key)
To my heart

You leave me abandoned, baby, baby
You'll ever forgive me, baby
Will you ever forgive me, baby, ooh
You're the key (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
To my heart (Ooh, ooh)
You're the key-ey
To my heart (I'm beggin' you, baby)
You're the key
To my heart
You're the key-ey
To my heart

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,ooh, hoo, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby, baby
Where did you go, baby?
Your home is ready, baby, ah, hey-ey-ey, hey
Ooh, wee, baby, your things are still here, baby
You reminded me of all the times
Baby, when we spent together, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    This is the things there are four sisters Jeanette, Wanda, Sheila and Pam. With the four voice the harmonious voices are tight, and Jeanette is singing on this LP but not in the picture. The low part is the key Jeanette does not get enough credit, love their sound.

    mind blowing harmony, seamless. who out there today compares, i'd like to know cause I'm behind the times

    K.... ....

    No one.

    K.... ....

    Kajache ME TOO...I HAVEN'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO N 20 YEARS!!!!😎

    K.... ....

    Very few. The 90s were the last of the greats. And even they can't fully compare with one exception being Boyz II Men.

    K.... ....

    l will always treasure music and Groups like the forever Emotions and Earth Wind & Fire...

    K.... ....

    None of whom I've heard since the Emotions came on the scene comes close to them and Jean Carne, who is very hot and gets no air time. For the younger people, En Vogue are really harmonious and great. They should've done like the Temptations and got someone whose vocals were very similar to the one who left the group. That's how you do that there, not that the new lady can't sing bc she can.

  45. G.... D....

    This is the decade.This is music

    Cool memories. I remember playing this song as loud as my home made box speakers would let me in my mom's 1967 Chevy Impala cruising down Whittier Blvd. in Los Angeles in 1977, '78. I also remember playing this song to death in the confines of same car during my graveyard lunch break at 3:00AM in the Dixie Cup parking lot on those cold nights thinking about my cute and sexy co-worker's bulge that swatch-buckled back and forth in his loose blue work pants eating a cold ham sandwich my mother had made for me at 10:00 the night before. I would sneak a peek whenever he would turn away to fix some knob on the printer he ran. Ahhh, I was 18 and he was an older 23. The night he finally invited me to a party with him...oh I'm getting ahead of myself again.

    No Diana Ross references in this, other than this was in 1978, and happened way before age let me come out (see Let's Stay Together)... . He he he... .

  56. D.... ....

    I still have the album!

    Are IP to Maurice White who produced this song and the whole album that year. And if I'm not mistaken, he is doing a partial duet with the emotions on this song.

    K.... E....

    +Kayanda Eddings HE IS.

    K.... E....

    Kayanda Eddings no you're not mistaken

    K.... E....

    No, Kayanda Eddings, you are not mistaken. That's Maurice with Sheila on vocals.

    K.... E....

    Kayanda Eddings. U RITE!!!😎

  69. N.... J....

    You girls brought the house down the summer of 1977 @ the Municipal Auditorium in Charleston, SC with that Rejoice album that went Platinum!

    B.... G....

    Agreed, they are the best of all time

  78. s.... b....

    What can I say!  This group has/had the most harmonious voices ever.  There are absolutely no others to come even close.  Memories.....

    s.... b....

    Yea, the Emotions were good but let's not forget the Jones girls too!

    s.... b....

    Who were HEAVILY influenced by the Emotions! theyll be the first to tell you,lol....
