Start Me Up (Live 1982)

[Crowd Cheering]

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

You make a grown man cry

You make a grown man cry

You make a grown man cry

[Verse 2]

Spread out the oil, the gasoline

I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 3]

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 you can slide it up

Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate, my lips go green

My hands are greasy

She's a mean, mean machine

[Verse 4]

Start it up

If start me up

Ahh... give it all you got

You got to never, never, never stop

Slide it up, baby just slide it up

Slide it up, slide it up, never, never, never

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

Start it up

Start it up

[Audience Applause]
