(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)
