Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones

If you would have asked me what the Rolling Stones sang 10 years ago, I probably couldn't have told you. When I got back into music and started listening to everything again, I realized, I actually knew some of their songs and just didn't know they sang them. So obviously, you'll be seeing more of their music here.

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 running hot

You got me just about to blow my top

You can start me up, you can 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

You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline

I walk smooth ride in a mean, mean machine

Start it up

You can start me up

Kick on the starter, give it all you've 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

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 it up

Start me up

Ah, you've got to, you've got to

Never, never, never stop

Start it up

Ah, start it up, never, never, never

You make a grown man cry

You make a grown man cry

You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind, at double speed

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

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

You, you, you make a grown man cry

You, you make a dead man come,

You, you, you make a dead man come
