Prince (bootleg) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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)
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do, ooh
A-U-T-O-matic, I'm so in love with you
And if you cry, me cry, boo-hoo, that's automatic too, ooh
I would never leave you, no matter what you do
Stop the music baby, you know, I'm an automatic fool
(Hey)
A-U-T-O-matic, just tell me what to do (and don't stop)
A-U-T-O-matic, oh, I'm so in love with you
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 (I will, yes I will babe)
And even when I'm right, I'll be wrong, that's automatic to (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, so in love with you)
(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)
So in love with you, baby, yeah (hey) (A-U-T-O-matic) alright, alright (just tell me what to do)
Tell me what to do baby (A-U-T-O-matic) yeah, yeah, yeah (so in love with you)
Whoo (hey)
(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
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 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 to 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)
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 takeoff
(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)
In the song "Automatic" by Prince (bootleg), the singer confesses his love for the subject in the most obsessive way possible. He explains that his love for them is automatic and that he would do whatever it takes to appease them. He says that every time the subject leaves him, he feels like dying, and he is also quick to forgive her even though she has hurt him in the past. He goes on to say that he would look for a needle in a haystack, go down on her all night long, and even rub her back forever if she asked him to. He is so in love with the subject that he feels like he is insane, and he begs her to undress him.
The singer is so obsessed with the subject that he is willing to do anything for her, even if it means that he has to lose himself in the process. His love for her is automatic in the sense that he does not have to think about it; he just feels it strongly, and it overpowers him. The song is filled with metaphors, such as the reference to the subject's "ice cream," which is clearly a metaphor for her sexuality. The singer also talks about how he feels more comfortable around her when he is naked, which suggests that he feels vulnerable around the subject.
