Automatic by the Pointer Sisters

Let's face it, we all love the part where the ladies sing automatic, and then the really low voice says it. This blog is helping me appreciate songs that I listen to all the time even more then just a tune. This was another song that I really liked back in the day and hearing it today reminded me of that.

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

Winds up locked in a circuitry

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)

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

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)

Automatic (automatic)

Automatic, automatic

Automatic, automatic

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

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

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

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)

Automatic (automatic)

• This is the 64th song on this blog.

• This is the fourteenth song listed in the 80s genre on this blog.

Two 80s songs in a row, could it be a trend? I have a huge variety of genre's on my playlist but I'm starting to feel that the majority of the songs are only a couple of genres. I knew this going in but I thought the songs would show up more spread out. I even have some genres not listed yet that haven't come up yet.
