Automatic Lyrics by Prince

1999 (Super Deluxe Edition)

1982

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do
A-U-T-O-matic, I'm so in love with you

[Verse 2]
You ask me if I'll kiss you, it's automatic
And if you cry, me cry, boo-hoo, that's automatic, too
I would never leave you, no matter what you do
Stop the music, baby, you know I'm an automatic fool
Hey

[Chorus]
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do
(Until it’s done)
A-U-T-O-matic, ooh, I'm so in love with you, ooh

[Verse 3]
I'll rub your back forever, ooh, 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

[Chorus]
A-U-T-O-matic, ooh, just tell me what to do
(Tell me what to do, babe)
A-U-T-O-matic, I'm so in love with you

[Verse 4]
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)
Hey
So in love with you, baby, yeah (A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do)
All right, all right
Tell me what to do, baby (A-U-T-O-matic, I’m so in love with you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey

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

[Verse 5]
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 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
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)

[Chorus]
(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)

[Outro]
Hey
Fasten your seat belts
Prepare for take-off
(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)
