Express
Your Mine
Express
Its Time
Express Your Mine
I'm always there, when you walk in
and you never have to speak cos you're body's talkin'
I felt the heat, ooohhhhh I could never tell my momma just what I felt
So ease your mind
and just let your inner feelings show
Lets make the time
and just let your inhibitions flow
You've gotta do what ya wanna
See who ya wanna
Be who you wanna be (express)
Dance when ya wanna
Talk when ya wanna
Be what ya wanna be (express)
Do what ya wanna
With who ya wanna
Whenever ya feel the need (express)
I love the way ya vibing me
So let yourself be free
express
undress your mine

Watching ya stare gets me thinking
That if I dont make my move
sometime this evening
I'm gonna lose
All the things
That momma told me
I should never do
So ease your mind
and just let your inner feelings show
Lets make the time
and just let your inhibitions flow
You've gotta do what ya wanna
See who ya wanna
Be who you wanna be (express)
Dance when ya wanna
Talk when ya wanna

Whenever ya feel the need (express)
I love the way ya vibing me
So let yourself be free

There may be times
When you're drinking
When your mouth doesn't always say what your bodies thinking
But it feels oh so good
Oh like you know it should
So ease your mind
and just let your inner feelings show
Lets make the time
and just let your inhibitions flow
You've gotta do what ya wanna
See who ya wanna
Be who you wanna be
Dance when ya wanna
Talk when ya wanna
Be what ya wanna be
Do what ya wanna
With who ya wanna
Whenever ya feel the need
I love the way ya vibing me
So let yourself be free

The song "Express" by Dina Carroll is a sultry and seductive anthem about embracing one's inner desires and letting them free. The spoken introduction sets the tone for the song, with the repeated refrain of "Express, your mine, express, it's time, express, your mine, undress, your mine." This creates a sense of urgency and passion which is carried throughout the rest of the song.
The lyrics themselves describe the singer's attraction to someone who makes them feel alive and free to be themselves. They feel a strong physical attraction to this person and want to let go of their inhibitions and embrace their desires fully. There is a sense of risk-taking and adventure in the lyrics, with the singer acknowledging that there may be consequences to their actions but feeling that it is worth it to truly live in the moment.
