Lyrics
Verse 1:
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 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've 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 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, you′ve got to, you've got to Never, never, never stop
Start it up! Ah, start 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
Verse 4:
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 make a dead man come You, you, you make a dead man come.
