"Start Me Up" lyrics

Start Me Up

If you start me up
If you start me up
I'll never stop
You can start me up
You can start me up
I'll never stop

I've been running hot
You got me ticking
Going to blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up
I'll never stop
Never stop
Never stop
Never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil
The gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean
Mean machine

Start it up
If you start it up
Kick on the starter
Give it all you got
You got
You got

I can't compete
With the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it
I can slide it up
Slide it up
Slide it up
Slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate
My lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean
Mean machine

Start it up
Start me up
Ah, give it all you got
You got to never
Never, never, never stop

Slide it up, baby
Just slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up
Never, never, never

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind
At double speed
I'll take you places
That you've never
Never seen

If you start it up
Love the day
When we will never stop
Never stop
Never, never, never stop

Tough me up
Never stop
Never stop
You, you
You make a grown man cry
You
You made a dead man come
You, you
You made a dead man come
You, you
