Get a Leg Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 thinkin' she must be thinkin' The girl I spent fifty-three bucks on last night She gives me a look from the corner of her eye That says, boy, keep actin' right How surprised was I when she leaned over And whispered in my ear [Chorus] Get a leg up (Ah ah) Get a leg over, boy (Yeah yeah) Get a leg up (Ah ah) What's the matter? Are you shy, shy, shy? [Verse 2] 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 "You want me to spend the night? Hey, lover boy, you know I will And my best girlfriend that lives down the road Together we will thrill ya" And I'm thinkin' to myself I could be lucky Pierre tonight [Chorus] If I could get a leg up (Ah ah) If I could get a leg over, boy (Yeah yeah) You know I ain't that handsome, no (Ah ah) But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy [Guitar Solo] Ah, goddamn [Verse 3] The rest of the night went on and on And the moral to this song Don't go makin' hasty judgments 'Cause, uh, sometimes they could be wrong Nothin' wrong with a good time Just keep yourself protected, make a list And you can bet your life that the women don't know Their little girls are actin' like this, yeah So the next time a young one moves up And she whispers in your ear, yeah [Chorus] Get a leg up (Ah ah) Get a leg over, boy (Yeah yeah) Get a leg up (Ah ah) Now don't you be shy, shy, shy Now get a leg up (Ah ah) Get a leg over, boy (Yeah yeah) You know I ain't that handsome (Ah ah) But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy Yeah, get a leg up (Ah ah) Get a leg over, boy (Yeah yeah) Get a leg up (Ah ah) Now don't you be shy, shy, shy (Oh, shotgun)
