Get a Leg Up — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Don`t look at me, don`t touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don`t get no funny ideas about me
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 lef 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 down the road
Together we will thrill ya
And I`m thining 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 judgments
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 girrls 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
