Automatic

About Automatic

"Automatic" is a song by American musician Prince from his 1982 album, 1999. It was released as a 7" single only in Australia, with "Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)" as the B-side. Almost six minutes were edited from the album track for its single release. Lyrically, the song had bondage-inspired imagery; and a music video directed by Bruce Gowers features band mates Lisa Coleman and Jill Jones whipping Prince in a simulated S&M session, where he is tied to a bed. The video was only released as a promotional clip for dance clubs, but circulates amongst collectors. "Automatic" was first played during the 1999 Tour. Later it was a featured number during Prince's 1986 Parade tour. The song was part of a mini-1999 medley consisting of a short instrumental segment of "Lady Cab Driver", "Automatic", and a very brief "D. M. S. R.". The song reappeared in 2002 at some aftershows in a medley with the Graffiti Bridge song "Shake!". more »

You ask me if I love you, it's automatic
'Cause every time you leave me, I die, that's automatic too
You ask me to forgive you, when you know, I'm just an addict
So stop the music baby, you know, you're all I want to do
(Hey)
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do, ooh
A-U-T-O-matic, I'm so in love with you

You ask me if I'll kiss you, it's automatic
And if you cry, me cry, boo-hoo, that's automatic too, ooh
I would never leave you, no matter what you do
Stop the music baby, you know, I'm an automatic fool
(Hey)
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do (and don't stop)
A-U-T-O-matic, oh, I'm so in love with you

I'll rub your back forever, it's automatic (A-U-T-O-matic)
I'll look for a needle in a haystack, that's automatic too, ooh (A-U-T-O-matic)
I'll go down on you all night long, it's automatic (I will, yes I will babe)
And even when I'm right, I'll be wrong, that's automatic to (A-U-T-O-matic)
(Hey)
(A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do)
Tell me what to do, babe
(A-U-T-O-matic, so in love with you)
(Hey) so in love with you, yeah (A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do)
Tell me what to do, babe (A-U-T-O-matic, so in love with you)
So in love with you, baby, yeah (hey) (A-U-T-O-matic) alright, alright (just tell me what to do)
Tell me what to do baby (A-U-T-O-matic) yeah, yeah, yeah (so in love with you)

C'mon baby
A-U-T-O-matic, tell me what to do
A-U-T-O-matic
So in love with you

Don't say no man has ever tasted your ice cream
Baby, you're the purple star in the night supreme
You'll always be a virgin for no man deserves your love
I only pray that when you dream, I'm the one you dream of
I pray that when you dream, you dream of how we kissed, not with our lips but with our souls
Stop me if I bore you
Why is it that I think we'd be so good in bed?
Can you hear me., why do I love you so much?
It's strange, I'm more comfortable around you when I'm naked, can you hear me?
I wonder if you have any mercy, don't torture me

(Stop the music baby, automatic fool)

When it comes to you I'm automatic baby
There's no one else like me
I'm the best you'll ever find
No-one else could understand you, you're to complex
They say nothing's perfect, but they don't know you
That's automatic too
Can you hear me?
(A-U-T-O-matic) yes, I'm addicted to your pleasure
I'm addicted to your pain
It's automatic (A-U-T-O-matic)
Automatically insane
Undress me (A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
Hey (A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
(A-U-T-O-matic)
(Hey)
Fasten your seat belts
Prepare for takeoff

(I remember how you kissed me, not with your lips but with your soul)
(With you I'm never bored, talk to me some more)
(I can hear you, I'm going to have to torture you now)
