   Put your love to the test
   G
   You know, you know, you've got to
   G                   C
   Make him express how he feels
             F                     C       G
   And maybe then you'll know your love is real

1. You don't need diamond rings
                       F
   Or eighteen karat gold
   
   Fancy cars that go very fast
                                 G
   You know they never last, no, no
   G                          F
   What you need is a big strong hand
                                 G
   To lift you to your higher ground
                        F
   Make you feel like a queen on a throne
                                         G
   Make him love you till you can't come down

R: Don't go for second best baby...

2. 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

R: Don't go for second best baby...

Express yourself
                C
You've got to make him
              F
Express himself
     C          G
Hey, hey, hey, hey
                                        C
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
  F               C             G
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

F                                       G
And when you're gone he might regret it
                             F
Think about the love he once had
                                   G
Try to carry on, but he just won't get it
He'll be back on his knees

     G
To express himself
        C
You've got to make him
   F       G7sus4
Express himself
G7  G
Hey hey
