Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm living through this, surely
Yes, I do declare
When it gets too heavy, I'll be dancing
All of a sudden, you appear
Insatiable emotion in my mirror, hey!

[Chorus 1]
You appear insatiable emotion
(Your choreography has imagination)
Baby, your poetry and motion
Ooh, you know I'm the best
(Who might you be, what's your name?)
The Greatest!

[Verse 2]
You want to watch my thunderstorm
Ya gotta see my poppin' corn
I participate, end of story
All of a sudden, you delay
Numerical emotion in my middle, hey!

[Chorus 2]
You delay my numerical emotion
(Oh, no, no, you're in my mirror)
Baby don't count on devotion
(You're my reflection)
Girl, let's give a rest
(Why, why, who the hell are you anyway?)
I gave more, you gave less
Play!

[Verse 3]
You're anything but ordinary
And I'm getting your attention hard
Your body's shooting X-ray bullets
Fire away, I'm unarmed
And all of a sudden, you push replay
(Replay)
Mechanical emotions in my middle, hey!

[Chorus 3]
You display mechanical emotion
(Ahh you're in my symphony)
Baby, in my orchestration
Oh, you keep me a wreck
(Fine! Why? Why? Why? I love you anyway)
Baby, I'm sick of this mess

(spoken French part)

[Chorus 4 (Morris Day)]
You display mechanical emotion
Baby, in my orhcestration
Oh, you keep me a wreck
Baby, I'm sick of this mess
You display mechanical emotion
Baby, in my orchestration
Oh, you keep me a wreck
Baby, I'm sick of this mess
