Express yourself, don't repress yourself (5 x)

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
It's human nature, 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 must've 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 breaking 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

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 (6 x)

Did I say something true
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
I must've 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

(Chorus within spoken parts below)

I'm not apologizing
Would it sound better if I were a man
You're the one with the problem
Why don't you just deal with it
Would you like me better if I was
We all feel the same way
I have no regrets
Just look in the mirror
I don't have to justify anything
I'm just like you
Why should I be
Deal with it
