Expressing Yourself Lyrics & Chords By Original Cast Of Billy Elliot

Is it sinful if you're blue
To cheer up the place?
What is wrong with dressing up in satin and lace?
Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan.
Pretty soon you will start to feel a different man.
What the hell's wrong with expressing yourself?
Being who you want to be?
Will anybody die if you put on a dress?
Who the hell cares if your blusher's a mess?
Start a new fashion, buck all the trends.
Emphasise integrity.
Cos what the hell is wrong with expressing yourself
For wanting to be me?
BILLY
What the hell's wrong with wearing a dress?
Being who you wanna be?
MICHAEL
Who the hell is it you try to impress
All you have to do is learn to care less
Start a new fashion, buck all the trends
MICHAEL
Billy, sing something to me
What the hell is wrong with expressing yourself?
For trying to be free.
If you wanna be a dancer, dance
If you wanna be a miner, mine
If you want to dress like somebody else,
Fine, fine, fine.
It's not a big statement, it's not a weird act
Just a good idea at the time
We'll not complain about your boring life
If you'll just leave me to mine.
If you wanna be a dancer, dance
If you wanna be a miner, mine
Everyone is different
It's the natural state
It's the facts, it's plain to see,
The world's grey enough without making it worse
What we need is individuality.
