Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on, girls
You believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
It goes a little something like this
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know, they never last, no, no
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Express yourself
You've got to make him
Express yourself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now
Then make him show you how
Express what he's got
Baby, ready or not
[Verse 9]
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 10]
I'm beautiful in my way
'CauseGod makes no mistake
I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way
[Verse 11]
Express yourself
So you can respect yourself, hey, hey
[Verse 12]
Ooh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby, I was born this way
[Verse 13]
Express yourself
(Express yourself)
Respect yourself
(Respect yourself)
Express yourself
(Express yourself)
Respect yourself
(Respect yourself)
[Verse 14]
She's not me
She's not me
She's not me
She's not me
