Start Me Up Live 1981 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
You can start me up
You can start me up I'll never stop

[Verse 1]
I've been running hot
You got me ticking going to blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, 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
[Chorus 1]
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
You can start me up
You can start me up I'll never stop

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

[Verse 4]
Start it up
If start me up
Ahh... give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up, baby just slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, never, never, never
[Bridge]
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
If you start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never, never, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop

[Outro]
Start it up
Start it up

[Audience Applause]
