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)



(bridge)
