Don't go for second best, baby
Put your lover to the test
You know, you know you gotta
Make him express how he feels
And, baby, then you'll know
You don't need diamond rings
Fancy cars, they go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you up to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on the throne
Make you love him till you
Don't go for second best, baby
Put your lover to the test
You know, you know you got to
Make him express how he feels
then you'll know your love is real
but he needs to start with
Satin sheets so very romantic,
what happens when you're not in bed?
You deserve the best in life,
so wait for time and give up
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better, baby,
Don't go for second best, baby
Put your lover to the test
You know, you know you got to
Make him express how he feels
And, baby, then you'll know
You've got to make him express himself
So if you want it right now
Think about the love he once had
Try to carry on but he just won't get it
He'll be back on his knees
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you up to your higher
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make you love it till you
And when you're gone, he might be ready
Think about the love he wants
He'll be back on if he's so pleased
Don't go for second best, baby
Put your lover to the test
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And baby, then you'll know your love is real
So if you want it right now
So you can respect yourself
So if you want it right now,
