Automatic Lyrics by James Brown

The Next Step

2002

[Chorus]
AAOW! My love...
(Love comes automatically)
Right now!
(Love is an automatic thing)
Quick, quick love, quick love, ha!
Don't take long
(Love comes automatically)
To make up my mind, lookit here!
(Love is an automatic thing)
Check this!

[Verse 1]
Jump in my ride over there, on the passenger side
Come go with me, let me take you on a cruise down funky street
Strap yourself in, 'cause I can't stand the heat, y'all
When I get that feeling, love comes automatically, right now

[Chorus]
Right now
(Love comes automatically)
Come on, uh! Ride, ride, said ride...
(Love is an automatic thing
Love comes automatically
Love is an automatic thing)

[Verse 2]
Check out the band, now watch my feet
Let that funky rhythm move you out your funky seat
Everybody, let's show some love
Because love is something that comes from above

[Chorus]
I got, uh, well
(Love comes automatically)
Well... uh, aaah
(Love is an automatic thing)
Automatic love, right now
(Love comes automatically)
Whoa, automatic love
(Love is an automatic thing)
Love, automatic love
(Love comes automatically)
Right now, quick love, quick love, quick love
(Love is an automatic thing)
Well, give the guitar some!
(Love comes automatically)
Everybody get funky! Uh!
(Love is an automatic thing)

[Bridge]
Love is what we all need
Come on people, hear me please
Come together across the land
Love each other while we still can

[Chorus]
Whoa, get on!
(Love comes automatically)
Automatically...
(Love is an automatic thing)
Love is automatically
(Love comes automatically)
Love is automatically!
(Love is an automatic thing)
Let me say this, one more time!
Lookit here!

[Verse 1]
Jump in my ride over there, on the passenger side
Come go with me, let me take you on a cruise down funky street
Strap yourself in, 'cause I can't stand the heat
And when I get that feeling, love comes automatically

[Chorus/outro]
Ride, hah!
(Love comes automatically)
Whoa, right now! Quick love
(Love is an automatic thing)
Quick love, quick love
Not a marble-shooting love
Quick love, quick love
(Love comes automatically)
For real, for real, oh, for real!
(Love is an automatic thing)
Aahhh...

Set it on, set it on, set it on
Set it on, set it on, set it on
(Love comes automatically)
Set it on, set it on, set it on
Set it on, set it on, set it on
(Love is an automatic thing)
Give the guitar some! Well, huh-huh
(Love comes automatically)
Clap your hands, everybody
Get happy, get happy
(Love is an automatic thing)

Get happy, get happy
Get-get-get-get-get-get-get, get happy
(Love comes automatically)
Aaahhh, I'm gone!
(Love is an automatic thing)
See you on the funky street!
(Love comes automatically
Love is an automatic thing
Love comes automatically...)
