[Spoken:]
Express yourself, don`t repress yourself [repeat 4 times]

[Chorus:]

And I`m not sorry (I`m not sorry)
It`s human nature (it`s human nature)
And I`m not sorry (I`m not sorry)
I`m not your bitch don`t hang your shit on me (it`s human nature)

You wouldn`t let me say the words I longed to say
You didn`t want to see life through my eyes
(Express yourself, don`t repress yourself)
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
(Express yourself, don`t repress yourself)

Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn`t know I couldn`t talk about sex
(I musta been crazy)
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn`t know I couldn`t speak my mind
(What was I thinking)

[chorus]

You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I`m breakin` all the rules I didn`t make
(Express yourself, don`t repress yourself)
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
(Express yourself, don`t repress yourself)

[Bridge:]

Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn`t know I couldn`t talk about sex
(I musta been crazy)
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn`t know I couldn`t talk about you
(What was I thinking)

[chorus]

Express yourself, don`t repress yourself [repeat twice]
Express yourself, don`t repress yourself [repeat twice]
