(Spoken:)
Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat 4 times)


Chorus:

And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]

It's human nature [it's human nature]
And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
I'm not your (*##$ don't hang your %#@! on me [it's human

nature]

You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say

You didn't want to see life through my eyes
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room

And silence me with bitterness and lies
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]


Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]

Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind
[What was I thinking]


(chorus)


You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]


Bridge:


Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]

Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you
[What was I thinking]


(chorus)


Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat twice)
Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat twice)
