express yourself (mtv video music awards 1989) - live - madonna lyrics
[intro]
(dance and sing, get up and do your thing)
(dance and sing, get up and do your thing)
(dance and sing, get up and do your thing)
(dance and sing, get up and do your thing)
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
[verse 1]
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 ’til you can’t come down
[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
[verse 2]
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]
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
[instrumental bridge]
[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
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
[verse 3]
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
[bridge]
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
[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
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
[outro]
express yourself
express himself, 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
