Lyrics Dawn Richard

Dawn Richard

Automatic

How'd I get stuck living like this

Picture fucking perfect stepford wife

Assembled to fit your design.

There used to be a heart in here

Tell me how could anything survive

When hearts can't beat in steel, no

Like a tin-man, I played the part

I wage my heart I feel so artificial when I'm loving you

I can't, I can't

'Cause I'm nothing kind of bitch that's gonna let you go with you

That gonna let you do that

Sorry if you think, if you think I'm automatic

Fucking with the wrong toy no batteries included

Tryin to turn me on 'cause you think I'm operatic

Treat me like a droid 'cause you think I'm automatic

Enjoy 'cause you think I'm automatic

Play me like a toy cause you think I'm automatic

Auto automatic, 'cause you think I'm automatic

Auto automatic, 'cause you think I'm automatic yeah

You called me your prized possession

Showed me off like I'm your trophy case

Told me to do what you say, oh

I let you fuck up my vision

With the world in as a colder place

You had my heart, I swear it babe oh wow

Boy you don't love it

Turn my heart into your worst nightmare

Shut me down, down with your program

Switch me off I wanna be human yeah human

Again I give anything to recognize my own skin

I can, I can anything to recognize my old thing

System overloaded 'cause I know that I can feel that

Trade in this armor for a piece of reality oh

Cause under this metallic girl, there's a human being

Won't be a toy no more, boy fuck your technology

I'm done now, I'm shortin' out

Cause I'm not the kind of chick that's gonna let you go and do that

I don't give a thing about you

I'm a do em you gonna do you

I ain't automatic

So let's be true

So let's be true

Listen

I don't give a fuck about you

I'ma do me, and you gon' do you

I ain't automatic, so let a bitch through

So let it be through
