ARTIST: Madonna TITLE: Express Yourself ALBUM: Like a Prayer YEAR: 1989 =================================================== Intro: 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 maybe then you'll know your love is real You don't need diamond rings Or eighteen 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 till you can't come down (chorus) 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 (chorus) 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 Think about the love he once had Try to carry on, but he just won't get it He'll be back on his knees To express himself You've got to make him Express himself Hey hey (chorus)
