Start Me Up

[Intro]

If you start me up

If you start me up, I'll never stop

If you start me up

If you start me up, I'll never stop

[Verse 1]

I've been running hot

You got me [?], now don't blow my top

If you start me up

If you start me up, I'll never stop

Never stop, never stop, never stop

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

If you start it up

Kick on the starter, give it all you got

You got, all 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Start me up

Ah, ah, oh, you've got to—

You've got to never, never, never stop

Slide it up, whoo!

Ah, rev it up to start it up

Start it up, start it up, start it up

Never, never, never

[Chorus]

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

Hey, hey

[Verse 4]

If you start it up

Love the day when we'll never stop, never stop

Never, never, never stop

Tough me up

Never stop, never stop

[Chorus]

You, you, you make a grown man cry

You, you make a dead man come

You, you make a dead man come
