Let me heat that up for you... 
You need more then just a paperclip, depending on the lock you may also need what is known as a torsion wrench (really all that means is something that can turn the tumbler while you pick it)

I have never picked a lock, but on a tumbler lock you need a pick and a torsion wrench, a hair clip and screw driver will do though. put the torsion wrench in so you can turn it like a key but can still put a pick in there. Turn the torsion wrench in the direction it opens and apply a steady pressure on it (hard enough that when you pick the pins in the lock that they won't fall back down, but not so hard that you break the lock) then proceed to pick the individual pins.

Of course, you could always climb in through a window or bust in.

NOTE: Some locks are so simple to pick, all you need is a hard, flat object. my brothers doors lock is just a slot, and I usually shove a knife in there and turn it. This isn't really a 'lock' but it does have a 'key' (any flat object that fits will do) and can usually only be opened easily from the inside.
