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

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 all 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

My eyes dilate my lips go green

My hands are greasy

She's a mean mean machine

Start me up

Give it all you got

You got to never never never never

You make a grown man cry

You make a grown man cry

Run like the wind at double speed

I'll take you places

that you've never never seen
