Start Me Up (Live 1990) lyrics

[Audience Cheering]

[Chorus 1]
Start me up
Start me up I'll never stop
Start me up
Start me up I’ll never stop

[Verse 1]
Running hot
You got me ticking going to blow my top
Start me up
Start me up I'll 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

[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
I rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up
Start me up
Start me up I’ll never stop
[Chorus 2]
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

[Verse 4]
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

[Verse 5]
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
If you start it up

[Chorus 1]
Start it up
I never stop, never stop, I never, never, never stop
Start it up
I never stop, never stop, I never, never, never stop
[Outro]
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you, you make a dead man come
You, you, you make a grown man cry
Start it up

[Audience Applause]
