Automatic
Jennifer Rush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was looking for somebody to move me
I saw your face
You're all that I've been dreaming of
Electric eyes drove me insane
Now nothing but your love can move me
Takes me where I need to go
So far the timing is right
It's all that I need to know
With you I just lose control

It's automatic, it's automatic
I feel love must take its hold
It's automatic. I'm automatic
I lose I just lose control
It's automatic

Oh, you're the magic in my life
Who's flying down to me
Cause nothing but the taste of your love
Can satisfy the need in me
Enough to let your body move me
Takes me where its going to
My love, in the still of the night
Is all I can give to you
With you I just lose control

It's automatic, it's automatic
I feel love must take its hold
It's automatic, I'm automatic
I lose I just lose control
Its automatic, its automatic
With you I just lose control
Its automatic its automatic
I feel love must take its hold




I'm automatic, I'm automatic
Automatic

What can you say? She sings soulfully. It sounds good.

I “missed” Jennifer in her prime—in fact, I only discovered her 2 months ago. I am a big fan of Celine and only discovered Jennifer because I came across Celine’s cover of POL including Jennifer. I couldn’t believe my ears.
I’m 84 and have heard them all, from Ginger Rogers to Edith Piaf to Vera Lynn. Then Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Tammy Wynette, and Bonnie Tyler. Add Gloria Gaynor, Connie Francis, Laura Branigan, Linda Ronstadt, Rita Coolidge, Celine, Mariah, and Whitney and you have the lineup of the greats right up to Adele and Susan Boyle.
But, Jennifer Rush has the all-around best female voice I have ever heard. Her operatic training adds an unmatched vibrato containing depth and texture. And she sings everything: opera, pop, rock, and ballads in English, Spanish, German, and Hungarian.
She also studied piano and violin at Juilliard. She has written or co-written the lyrics and music for many of her songs, done duets with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, Elton John, and Brian May—sorry—Sir Brian May, Michael Bolton, and performed live all over the world—but not in America, except in March and April 1986 on the Carson show and the Dick Clark Show; that’s it.
Why is she the best? Effortless high range: (look at Celine’s cover with Jennifer singing “Power of Love” to see the ease with which Jennifer handles the highest notes.) Listen to “Who Wants to Live Forever” (with or without Brian—Sir Brian—May) as well as “Stronghold”, “Another Way”, “Hero of a Fool”, “I come Undone” and many more.
With her operatic training (her father, Maurice Stern (Mauro Lampi) and step-mother Rita Loving) she developed a superior vibrato, appropriate body language, and perfect interpretation, and because she wrote or co-wrote most of her songs, she injects them with a personal load of musical endorphins that hit your ears and your heart at the same time.
Yes. If Jennifer had decided to live her life in the US, she would still be in Las Vegas or on tour.

A great singer & a powerful hard-pop tune in a rock feel written and arranged by super talent Mark Mangold.

Nathan Leveille

Didn't know this was Mark Mangold! Love his work with Michael Bolton
