[Verse 1]
Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don't get no funny ideas about me
You'll wish that you were dead
[Verse 2]
That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking
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' alright
[Verse 3]
How surprised was I when she leaned over
And whispered in my ear?
[Verse 4]
Get a leg up (Ah)
Get a leg over, boy (Yeah, yeah)
Get a leg up (Ah)
What's the matter, are you shy, shy, shy?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 you
[Verse 7]
And I'm thinkin' to myself I could be lucky here tonight
[Verse 8]
If I could get a leg up (Ah)
If I could get a leg over, boy (Yeah, yeah)
You know I ain't that handsome, no
But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy
[Verse 9]
Ah, goddamn, baby
[Verse 10]
The rest of the night went on and on
And the moral to this song
Don't go makin' hasty judgments 'cause
Sometimes they could be wrong
[Verse 11]
Nothin' wrong with a good time
Just keep yourself protected, make a list
You can bet your life that the women don't know
Their little girl's actin' like this, yeah
[Verse 12]
So the next time a young one moves up
And she whispers in your ear
[Verse 13]
Hell, get a leg up (Ah)
Get a leg over, boy (Yeah, yeah)
Get a leg up (Ah)
Now don't you be shy, shy, shy
[Verse 14]
Now get a leg up (Ah)
Get a leg over, boy (Yeah, yeah)
You know I ain't that handsome (Ah)
But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy
[Verse 15]
Now get a leg up (Ah)
Get a leg over, boy (Yeah, yeah)
Get a leg up (Ah)
Now don't you be shy, shy, shy
Oh, shotgun
