[Verse 1]
Yeah, start me up
You start me up, I'll never stop
You start me up
You start me up, I'll never stop
I'm runnin' hot
I'm tickin', I will blow my top
You start me up
You start me up, I'll never stop
[Verse 2]
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk in smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
[Verse 3]
Start it up
You start me up
Kick on the starter, give it all you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
Now rough it up
Enjoy it, I will slide it up
Start me up
You start it up, I'll never stop
[Verse 4]
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I'll take you places that you never, never seen
Start it up
[Verse 5]
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
You made a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I wanna screw her in a mean, mean machine
Start it up
[Verse 6]
Start me up
I'll never stop
Start me up
I'll never stop
Start me up
Yeah, I'll never stop
Never stop, never, never, never stop
Start me up
Yeah, come over
[Verse 7]
I said you, you, you made a grown man cry
And you, you, you made a grown man cry
And you, you, you made a dead man come
And you, you, you made a grown man cry
Start me up
