Start Me Up Songtext
von Salt‐N‐Pepa

Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down

(Come down), the S to the A-L-T
(Come down), the Luv to the B-U-G
(Come down), the Spin to the D-A-Rella
(Come down), S-T-double E the E in the V
(Come down), the P to the E-P-A
(Come down), Idolmakers in the house, how ya know?
(Come down), to the Record Lord
Come down
Wait a minute y′all, wait a minute

Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up


Well-a, well-a, w-h-h-hell-a
You're caught in the rain, but you forgot your umbrella
Ooh, what could you do? Pinch-a-nella, punch-a-nella?
You′re trapped in a cage like an ape called Magilla
And now you're ready to throw in the towel, that's kinda foul
You don′t give a hoot like a mute owl
That′s not the way I know you to be
You used to be true to me, ooh-whee, what you used to do to me

Shows that you got a lot to offer
So brother, just get offa your butt because it's gonna cost ya
It rips me apart to see you like this
Me and you might just be able to fight this, so baby

But it′s been so long that I thought I lost you
And I felt my life was goin' nowhere without you
I feel so strong because I have you
Standin′ by my side, oh, baby, baby, you just got to

Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up


Everybody has a time in their life
When things doesn't always go right
It just gets harder every day
And it makes you wanna run away
And then I wonder where it will end
Can I ever be myself again?
Yo, I got hopes, and I got trust
And I got you here to start me up

I′m fed up (fed up), word up (dead up)
Got to keep my head up, don't stop or let up
You're sleepin′ later, time to get your bed made up
Always on the loose until your dude get paid up
Paid up, wait up, I′m knockin', and I′m puffin'
Watch television all day doin′ nothing
Pushing in your liver, looks like you're ready to deliver
Yo, Salt, I think it′s a Caesar

Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up

Pepa ade donet, so people come follow
Now easy dibe gal cah me a big mama
Topin at the period an passin' ponda coma
So poom-poom breat save the drama fe ya fadda
'Cause me ruff, ruff ′n tuff ′n rugged 'n stuff
Me might roll upa blunt ′n tek a lickle (wah)
Lick shot 'n′ all a uno will drop (wah)
See my crutches never fail me

Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up

Chill
Chill, alright
