If you start me up, start me up
I'll never stop
I feel running hot
You got me reaped
You gotta go watch out
You make a grown man cry
Start up a fire with the gasoline
I wont soothe whatever fllame, flame, shame
Start me up
If you start me up
Gonna start until it's all you got
I can't complete
With the honesty a lover keeps
If you roughet it up
If you locked me up
If you start me up
Ride up the wind at double speed
I'll take you to place that you'll never say
