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)
It's human nature (It's human nature)
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)
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 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 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)
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)
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
(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)
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)
And I'm not sorry (I'm not apologizing)
It's human nature (Would it sound better if I were a man?)
And I'm not sorry (You're the one with the problem)
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me (Why don't you just deal with it)
'Cause I'm not sorry (Would you like me better if I was?)
It's human nature (We all feel the same way)
And I'm not sorry (I have no regrets)
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me (Just look in the mirror)
And I'm not sorry (I don't have to justify anything)
It's human nature (I'm just like you)
And I'm not sorry (Why should I be?)
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me (Deal with it)
The song "Human Nature" by Madonna talks about the importance of self-expression, not letting others repress one's thoughts and opinions. The verses portray the message of a strong and independent woman who refuses to be put down by society's norms and expectations. Madonna encourages people to speak their minds, stand up for themselves and not apologize for being who they are. The lyrics also allude to the singer's own experiences of being silenced by others who did not accept her outspokenness, especially in matters of sex, and how she refused to be shamed or controlled by them.
In the chorus, Madonna sings, "And I'm not sorry, it's human nature. I'm not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me." Here, "it's human nature" may be interpreted as human beings' natural inclination to express themselves freely, without fear or hesitation, and not let anyone else dictate their lives. Madonna is reclaiming her identity and reaffirming that no one has the right to put her down or make her feel inferior. The title suggests that being human involves expressing oneself and not repressing one's true nature.

Lyrics
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way
Why? Ho why?
(That way) Why? Ho why?
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?) (She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Hoo tell 'em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Cha, da, cha, sha, sha, sha, sha, sha (aah-ah)
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?) (She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Hoo tell 'em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Hoo tell 'em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way
If they say why
Why (why?), why (why?) (She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do my that way?
I like living this way
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)

This isn't a song.
This is a spiritual experience.

Leonisa King, accurate. What about this improvisation on "Human Nature". I think it's marvelous. It is a humble tribute to the King of Pop. Have a marvelous day filled with tones of joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oxjjPcjibo&list=RD3oxjjPcjibo&start_radio=1
