madonna - human nature lyrics

(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)
