(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
