The song “Human Nature” was written as an answer song to her critics, who had panned her provocative image of the previous two years and Madonna’s release of sexually explicit works. Written and produced by Madonna and Dave Hall, with additional writing from Shawn McKenzie, Kevin McKenzie and Michae...
[Refrain]
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
[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)
[Verse 1]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
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?)
[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)
[Verse 2]
You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breaking 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)
[Pre-Chorus]
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?)
[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)
[Refrain]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?)
[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)
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?)
And 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)
(I'm just like you)
It's human nature (It's human nature)
(Why should I be?)
And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)
(Deal with it)
I'm not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me (It's human nature)
(It's human nature)
