(Spoken:)
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?

'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this


Chorus:

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
[You'll never 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
[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


Intermediate:

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


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
[You'll never come down]


(intermediate)

So please


(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

Express yourself
[You've got to make him]
So you can respect yourself
Hey, hey
So if you want it right now, then make him show you how

Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
