Don't go for second best, baby, put your love to the test
   You know you know you've got to make her express how she feels
   And mayby then you'll know your love is real
   You don't need diamond rings or 18 karat gold
   Fancy cars that go very fast, well they never last, no no
   What you need is a big strong man, to take you to your higher ground
   Make you feel like a queen on a throne
   And love you till you can't come down
   (chorus)
   Long stem roses are the way to her heart, but you gotta start with her head
   Satin sheets are very romantic, what happens when you're not in bed?
   You deserve the best in life, if the time isn't right then move on
   Second best is never enough, you'll do much better on your own
   (chorus)
   Express yourself - you've got to make her
   Express herself - hey hey hey hey
   And if you wanna know how, let me show you now
   Express what you've got, baby ready or not
   Express yourself
   (Solo)
   (chorus)
   Express yourself - you've got to make her
   Express herself, hey hey hey hey
   And if you wanna know how, let me show you now
   Express what you've got, baby ready or not
   Express yourself, express yourself, express yourself
