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

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
