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)
(chorus)
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions)
[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]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions)
[Would you like me better if I was?]
[We all feel the same way]
[I have no regrets]
[Just look in the mirror]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions)
[I don't have to justify anything]
[I'm just like you]
[Why should I be?]
[Deal with it]
Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat 4 times)
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 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]
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]
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]
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]

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

this song kicks ass. its one of my fav madonna ones
i adore this song, because it's so classic madonna. she's all about pushing the limits, and people KNOW that, and yet they try and blame her for doing what she wants to do.
the line "i'm not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me" is, to me, the one line of any madonna song that says the most about her. i love that she says what she wants. and not only will she not listen to you when you tell her she's not doing what she "should" be, she fights back...
This is my all-time fave song. Amen to Madonna, she is soright about what she's saying in this song.
i adore the the hip-hop beat in the background...this is actually the only album of hers that i've got...
This song is pretty self explainatory... People try to put her down for being herself, and she's basically saying take it or leave it. She is one of the few artists who say they don't care what people think, and you can actually believe them.
This is one of her best songs in my opinion.
This song justifies all her other songs such as erotica. Out of all the controversal songs by her this one is the best.
"I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me"- What other pop star can say that !?!
favorite madonna song. i love her whispering in the background.
This song is a very cool song because after all the years of controversy, she tells them that she is not ashamed and sorry for what she done wrong.
