Mechanical Man Lyrics

I do everything he never would
I'm mechanical man
When I say I understood,
I only knew where to stand

But I'll be there for you
When your world's on a wire
My mechanical moves
Fit the mood you desire

Hope I will recreate the thrill
Take your body by the hand
Shake your soul awake
Dropping science at your feet

I whisper low and sweet
If you wanna see me angry I can be
Lose a number miss a key and I will be

I can read your mind
But still believe your lies
I can dance but I'll never understand
Mechanical Man

Hope I will recreate the thrill
Take your body by the hand
Shake your soul awake
Shake your soul awake

But I'm not perfect after all
I still get jealous when he calls
Something's wrong, pride was never in the plan
Turn me in for a brand new mechanical man

Hope he will recreate the thrill
Shake your soul awake
Shake your soul awake

You can get me wet
Scream when you're upset
I'll never understand you
I'm programmed to forget
You can get me wet
Scream when you're upset
I'll never understand you
I'm programmed to forget

Shake your soul awake

Shake your soul awake

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm pretty sure this song is written from the perspective of a woman's vibrator. I tried listening to it a different way but its hard to think of anything else when he says "i will recreate the thrill.. take your body by the hand.. shake your sould awake.." Any other ideas?
