Song Lyrics

Come on girls do you believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this

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 'til you can't come down

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

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

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

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 so please

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

To 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

Express yourself, express yourself
So if you want it right now make him show you how
Show you how baby ready or not
Express yourself, express yourself
You know you know you know you
Want it right now then make him show you how
Express yourself

Stephen Pate Bray, Madonna Ciccone
