C F/C  C F/C C F/C B♭(6)  x 2

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 runnin' hot
You got me lickin', gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop

  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 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  x 3

  My eyes dilate, my lips go green
  My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine - start it up

Start me up
Ah give it all you got, you got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up - woo
Ah give it up, just slide it up, never, never, never

  You make a grown man cry  x 3

  Ride like the wind at double speed
  I'll take you places that you've never, never seen - yeyyeah

Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop, never never never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop

You, you
You make a grown man cry
You
You make a dead man come

You, you
You make a dead man come
You, you
You make a dead man come
