Mechanical Emotion Lyrics by Vanity

Wild Animal

1984

[Verse 1: Vanity]
I'm living through this, surely
Yes, I do declare
When it gets too heavy, I'll be dancing
All of a sudden, you appear
Insatiable emotion in my mirror, hey!

[Chorus: Morris Day & Vanity]
You appear, insatiable emotion (Your choreography)
Baby, you're poetry and motion (Has imagination)
Oh, you know I'm the best (Why, why?)
(Who might you be? What's your name?)
The Greatest!

[Verse 2: Vanity]
You want to watch my thunderstorm?
Ya gotta see my poppin' corn
I participate, end of story
All of a sudden, you delay
Numerical emotion in my middle, hey!

[Chorus: Morris Day & Vanity]
You delay my numerical emotion (Oh, oh no, no)
(You're in my mirror)
Baby, don't count on devotion (You're my reflection)
Girl, let's give a rest (Why, why?)
(Who the hell are you anyway?)
I gave more, you gave less (Play!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Vanity]
You're anything but ordinary
And I'm getting your attention hard
Your body's shooting X-ray bullets
Fire away, I'm unarmed
And all of a sudden, you push replay (Replay, replay)
Mechanical emotions in my middle, hey!

[Chorus: Morris Day & Vanity]
You display mechanical emotion (Ah)
(You're in my symphony)
Baby, in my orchestration
Oh (Fine, why, why?)
You keep me a wreck (Why? I love you anyway)
Baby, I'm sick of this mess

[Spoken Interlude: Vanity]
Mirror oui reflete tout ce que je vois
Mirror reflete se moi
Mirror reflete qui die vient moi
Ce change, ce change et dievient toi
Mmm, j'adore ce mirror
Mmm, j'adore ce mirror
En lui ce toi que je vois
En lui ce toi que je vois

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Morris Day]
You display mechanical emotion
Baby, in my orchestration
Oh, you keep me a wreck
Baby, I'm sick of this mess
You display mechanical emotion
Baby, in my orchestration
Oh, you keep me a wreck
Baby, I'm sick of this mess
