Pointer Sisters - Automatic

Artist: Pointer Sisters
Title: Automatic
Year: 1984
Lyrics:
Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defenses down
Your camera looks through me
With its X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Wind up locked in the circuitry

Chorus:
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down down down
Automatic
Automatic

What is this madness
That makes my motor run
And my legs too weak to stand
I go from sadness
To exhilaration
Like a robot at your command
My hands perspire and shake like a leaf
Up and down goes my temperature
I summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell me there is no cure
They tell me

Chorus

I think June Pointer was totally beautiful!

[dawgGoodie]

I heard the "writer" on NPR once. I think Brock Walsh, Mark Goldenberg wrote it. Not sure.

While this represents one of the most successful recorded songs maybe the best example of their talent is their first album "Live at the Opera House". That is a the San Francisco Opera house

[Kleiton Silva]

This song makes me horny :D

aaaaaauuuuuuutoooooomaaaaaaaat­iiiiiiiiiic!!! yes sisterssss!!! i love their hair, outfits, shape, and voices. that's true singer. not like the crap they have today. back in the day music is way better than today's music. there are still some good singers out there but, i prefer back in the 80's and 90's.
