Lyrics

[Verse 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
I've been runnin' hot
You got me wrecking, gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, never stop
[Chorus]
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up
[Verse 2]
If you start me 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
[Chorus]
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine
Start it up
[Verse 3]
Start me up, ah, give it all you got
You've got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up, oh, baby, just slide it up
Never, never, never
[Chorus]
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
[Verse 4]
If you start it up
Love the day when we will never stop
Never stop, never, never, never stop
Light me up
Never stop, never stop
[Chorus]
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you, you make a dead man come
