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
