John Mellencamp Get A Leg Up Lyrics

Get A Leg Up Lyrics

Don´t look at me don´t touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don´t get no funny ideas about we
Or you´ll wish you were dead
That´s what I am thinking she must be thinking
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night
She give me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, "boy, keep acting right"
How surprised was i
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear

Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What´s the matter
Are you shy, shy, shy? 

I´m pretty good with first impressions
But sometimes i´m not always right
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road
To see what she had in mind
Want me to spend the night
Hey lover boy you know I will
And my best girlfriend lives down the road
Together we will thrill ya
And i´m thinking to myself
I could be lucky pierre tonight

Chorus:
If I could get a leg up
If I could get a leg over boy
You know I ain´t that handsome
But you know I ain´t shy, shy, shy

The rest of the night we went on and on
And the moral to this song
Don´t go making hasty judgements
Because sometimes they could be wrong
Nothing wrong with a good time
Just keep yourself protected make a list
And you can bet your life that the women don´t know
The little girls are acting like this
So the next time a young one moves up
And she whispers in your ear

Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What´s the matter
Now don´t you be shy, shy, shy? 

Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What´s the matter
Now don´t you be shy, shy, shy?
