[English]

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

And I'm not sorry (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 sorry

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

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)

And I'm not sorry (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 sorry

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

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

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)

And I'm not sorry (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 sorry

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Express yourself don't repress yourself

Did I say something true?

Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex

(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)

And I'm not sorry (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 sorry

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

(I'm not apologizing)

(It's human nature) It's human nature

Would it sound better if I were a man?

And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

(you're the one with the problem)

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

(why don't you just deal with it)

'Cuz I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

Would you like me better if I was?

(It's human nature) It's human nature

(we all feel the same way)

And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

(I have no regrets)

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)

Just look in the mirror

And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

(I don't have to justify anything)

(It's human nature) It's human nature

(I'm just like you)

And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

(Why should I be?)

I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me

(it's human nature)
