Automatic
The Bonfyre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ain't gotta play games with me
So automatic, you know so automatic
Say what you mean
You ain't gotta fake shit with me
So automatic, no so automatic
Now I'm way to broke to be shy around you
Since you say your the man, can you be there when I call
Just do your best
I don't mind to be honest
If you don't know where the thing
Put your hands on my body
Let you kiss on this all day, yeah
Say what you mean
You ain't gotta play games with me
So automatic, you know so automatic
Say what you mean
You ain't gotta fake shit with me
So automatic, no so automatic
Never been on a trip but for you I might fall
And i hope your the type that can handle it all
Take your time, ain't no rush just don't make me wait too long
No baby
I don't mind to be honest
If you don't know where the thing
Put your hands on my body
Let you kiss on this all day
Say what you mean
You ain't gotta play games with me
So automatic, you know so automatic
Say what you mean
You ain't gotta fake shit with me
So automatic, no so automatic
