"Bridge to Your Heart" is a song by pop duo Wax from their second studio album American English (1987). In many European countries the song was released under the title "Building a Bridge to Your Heart".
The song became the group's most popular single in their home country of the United Kingdom, reaching No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and reaching the top ten in other European countries such as the Netherlands and Sweden.
The release of the duo's debut album Magnetic Heaven in 1986 spawned the single "Right Between the Eyes". The song became Wax's most successful song in the United States, reaching No. 43 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song was considered a commercial failure in the United Kingdom, only reaching No. 60 on the UK Singles Chart. Several follow-up singles failed to chart.
In March 1987, band members Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman started writing and recording songs for the follow-up to Magnetic Heaven, American English. One of these songs was "Bridge to Your Heart".

Intro
Take time
Go away
Turn around
Cuz I need you to take time
Go away
Turn around
Yes I need you to stay, to stay
Yes I need you to stay, to stay
Verse
I’m locked down my world’s a prison
Confined only by the state of mind I live in
Infatuated with women and all this money I’m getting
I’m trapped by this rock star lifestyle I’m living
(I’m trapped, so lost)
Yah, it’s got me thinking like I need another
They say love is blind we can’t see each other
I’m addicted to these girls my bad habit
You can keep your heart
Yah you can have it
Chorus
Did I push too hard?
Did I go too far?
To be the one from the start
Did I try too hard?
Did I go too far?
For your heart
For your heart
For your heart
For your heart
For your heart
Verse
I’m girl crazy, I’m losing my mind
Perfect 10, I got them dimes all standing in line
Got shorties over here and shorties over there, but I don’t really care forget these b*%$&^
(I don’t, I don’t care)
Rock star lifestyle I’m gonna live it up
Cuz I’m a virgin to these girls
I never give a f*&%$ about any this love shit
Never get a hold of me
After you getting under me you better get over me
Chorus
Bridge
I’m coming for your heart
