Lyrics

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
