SONG: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 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?
