You ask me if I love you, it's automatic
'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

You ask me if I'll kiss you, it's automatic
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)

    One of Prince's sexiest songs ever! It's a 10-minute song about what else? SEX! Everytime I hear it I feel like I'm on a spaceship, but lyrically it's about sex!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
