Verse :

C                               F                              G 
I say the same thing twice, I'm awkward when I speak 
C                                 F                                   G 
Ain't got the perfect smile, don't turn heads on my street 
C                               F                G 
Trying to be a superstar like everybody else 
C                      F            G 
But being myself is something I do well 


             C          F         G 
Whatever you do, 
      C          F         G 
Do it good 
             C          F         G 
Whatever you do do do lord lord lord 
       C          F         G 
do it good (yeah) 
        C          F         G 
Express yourself 
        C        
Express yourself 
F            G 
(oh do it) 
         C                               F               G 
See it's not what you look like when you doin' what you doin', 
           C         
Express yourself 
F         G 
(oh do it, here we go now) 



I don't make the papers, I'm far from JLS (JLS) 
Ain't got the X-factor, I'm not what they expect (listen) 
But it won't be long before my turn is next, to express 
now with all due respect. 


See whatever I do, 
I do it good 
So whatever you do do do lord lord lord 
do it good (yeah) 
Express yourself 

Express yourself 
(oh do it) 
See it's not what you look like when you doin' what you doin', 
Express yourself 
(oh do it) 
(switch it up for me) 

Lose my shirt and tie 
There ain't nothing too high, 
Show them what you've got (wooooooooow) 
There's nothing wrong with perfect, perfect 
Now it's your time to shine 

Express yourself 
(click your fingers now) 
Express yourself 
(come on) (oh do it) 

See it's not what you look like when you doin' what you doin', 
Express yourself 
Express yourself 
Express yourself 
See it's not what you look like when you doin' what you doin', 
Express yourself
