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 5 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 that 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 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 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
get a leg up
get a leg over boy
you know i ain’t that handsome
but you know i ain’t shy shy shy
get a leg up
get a leg over boy
get a leg up
now don’t you be shy shy shy
