Lyrics

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 wanna do, ooh, hey
A-U-T-O-matic
Just tell me what to do, oh
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
So stop the music, baby
You know I'm an automatic fool, hey
A-U-T-O-matic
Just tell me what to do, until it's done
A-U-T-O-matic
Oh, I'm so in love with you, oh
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 (You will?)
Yes, I will, babe
And even when I'm right, I'll be wrong
That's automatic, too (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
I'm so in love with you
Hey (So in love with you, yeah)
A-U-T-O-matic
Just tell me what to do
Just tell me what to do, babe
A-U-T-O-matic
So in love with you
So in love with you, baby, yeah
A-U-T-O-matic
Alright, alright
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do, baby
A-U-T-O-matic
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm so in love with you, ooh-ooh
A-U-T-O-matic
A-U-T-O-matic
Come on, baby
A-U-T-O-matic
Tell me what to do
A-U-T-O-matic
So in love with you
Don't say that 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 so 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, ooh
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 too 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
Ooh, ooh, 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 take-off
I dream of 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
