Express Yourself 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 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 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 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 maybe 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 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 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 maybe 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 yourself Hei hei 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 yourself Hei hei So if you want it right now, make him show you how Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not Express yourself

Meaning of Express Yourself

Come on girls, Madonna’s “Express Yourself” is a powerful anthem urging women to demand genuine emotion and commitment in their relationships. The song champions the idea that true love isn't about material possessions or superficial gestures – diamond rings and fancy cars won’t sustain a relationship – but rather about deep connection and vulnerability. It encourages listeners, particularly women, to refuse “second best,” pushing for men to truly express their feelings and demonstrate unwavering affection. The lyrics advocate for a partner who elevates you, making you feel like royalty, and emphasize the importance of honest communication above all else. Ultimately, it’s a call for self-respect and recognizing one's own worth, suggesting that if a man can’t offer genuine expression and devotion, moving on is the only acceptable choice – “You’ll do much better baby on your own.”
