Get A Leg Up Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

JOHN MELLENCAMP - GET A LEG UP 

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 that you were dead 

That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking 

The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night 

She gives 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 

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 

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 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 

Get a leg up 

Get a leg over boy 

Get a leg up 

Now don't you be shy, shy, shy 

Chorus out
