Express Yourself Songtext
von Madonna

Come on, girls
Do you believe in love?
′Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this

Don't go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you′ve got to
Make him express how he feels
And baby, then you'll know your love is real

You don't need diamond rings or 18-karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast, you know they never last, no-no
What you need is a big strong hand to lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you ′til you can′t come down

Don't go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you′ve got to
Make him express how he feels
And baby, then you'll know your love is real


Long stem roses are the way to your heart, but he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic, what happens when you′re not in bed?
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right, then move on
Second best is never enough
You′ll do much better, baby, on your own

Don't go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And baby, then you′ll know your love is real

Express yourself
You′ve got to make him express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So, if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh-baby, ready or not

And when you′re gone, he might regret it
Thinking 'bout the love he once had
Try to carry on, but he just won′t get it
He'll be back on his knees

So please, don′t go for second best, baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And baby, then you'll know your love is real


Express yourself
You′ve got to make him express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he′s got, oh-baby, ready or not

Express yourself
Express himself, hey, hey
(So if you want it right now, better make him show you how)
Express what he's got, oh-baby, ready or not
Express yourself
Respect yourself, hey, hey
(So if you want it right now, better make him show you how)
Express what he′s got, oh-baby, ready or not
Express yourself
