Automatic

Automatic love is all I want
End of the day
Automatic love is all I got
To get away
Rounds of lead deliver me today
Got no blood to waste on foreplay
You can make all the decisions
You can make all them incisions
Chorus
Come to town I got pistol on my mind
One more bullet proof sister all I find
Don't ask me for directions
I'll offer you no infections
Automatic love is all I want
If you're driving by won't you gun me down
Got no time to waste I'm plantation bound
Chorus
Newborn you're such a stranger
When you got no grind with danger
Chorus
Chorus
