Toots & The Maytals - The Tide Is High: A Tribute To Rock N' Roll

Start Me Up

Start, start, start, start, start me up
Start, start, start me up
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 a mean, mean machine
Make me start it, start it, start it, start it, start it up
If you start me up
Step on the gas and give it all you've got, you've got, you've 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, mean machine
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, no, no, ahhh
Make me jack it up
Jack it, jack it, make me jack it up
Pull it up
Pull it up and fill it up
Make me live it up, make me live it up, no
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Just like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Make me shake it, shake it, shake it up
Push, push, push
Shake it up
Make me live it up
And if you start it up baby
Let me tell you I'm not going to stop, not going to stop
Let me live it up
And let me live it up now
Yo yo yow
Baby don't cry, don't cry
Ooh girl, woah woah woah
Baby don't cry
Woah Baby don't cry
Don't cry
Oh no no no he doesnt love you
Love you to my own
Baby i'm never gonna stop
Never gonna stop no no no no no no
If you start me up
If you start me up
I'm not going to stop, stop
Never gonna stop no no
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop oh no no
