Start Me Up lyrics

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

I've been running hot

You got me ticking gonna 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 [3x]

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 you can slide it up

Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry [3x]

My eyes dilate, my lips go green

My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine

Start it up

Start me up

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

You make a grown man cry [3x]

Ride like the wind at double speed

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

Start it up

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

Never, never, never stop

Rough me up

Never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry

You, you make a dead man come

You, you make a dead man come
