Automatic Lover
Teddybears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just have to thirst my button, 'cause I can take it like no other
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
From the outside to the inside, from the outside undercover
I pull myself into your mother, 'cause I can take it like no other
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
I'm you automatic lover, I can take it like your mother
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
I got my good sides and my bad sides, is it to take all dynamic
I got no problem with my punk-shot, 'cause I can take it like no other
I'm your automatic lover, I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover
'Cause I'm your automatic lover (your automatic lover)
'Cause I'm your automatic lover (your automatic lover)
The lyrics of Teddybears' "Automatic Lover" depict a relationship where both parties have their strengths and weaknesses, but ultimately come together in a harmonious way. The singer acknowledges that they have their "upsides and downsides," while their partner has "earthquake and landslides." Despite these differences, the singer is willing to submit to their partner's desires, saying they "just have to thirst my [their] button," and that they can take whatever their partner gives them "like no other."
The lyrics then turn more mysterious as the singer declares that they will "pull [themselves] into your mother," although it is unclear what this phrase means. The repeated assertion that they are their partner's "automatic lover" adds to the enigmatic nature of the song, suggesting that their relationship operates on an almost mechanical level, with both partners programmed to fulfill certain roles.
Overall, the lyrics of "Automatic Lover" paint a picture of a relationship that is both unusual and highly functional, with both partners submitting to each other in a way that is both strange and compelling.
