[Verse 1]
A                             G
Don't look at me, don't touch me

          A             G
Keep your mind straight ahead

A                           G
Don't get no funny ideas about me

A                    G
Or you'll wish that you were dead

D                            C
That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking

           D                     C
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night

A                             G
She gives me a look from the corner of her eye

A                  G
That says, "Boy, keep acting right."

B                  
How surprised was I

                         E              E E
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear
[Chorus]
         A       G
Get a leg up  (ah, ah)

Get a leg up

What's the matter are you shy, shy, shy?
[Verse 2]
A                          G
I'm pretty good with first impressions

A                         G
But sometimes I'm not always right

A                      G
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road

A                   G
To see what she had in mind

D                    C
Want me to spend the night

          A         G
Get a leg up

What's the matter are you shy, shy, shy?
[Solo] A G [Verse 3]
A                     G
The rest of the night went on and on

A                   G
And the moral to this song

A                       G
Don't go making hasty judgments

A                                G
Because sometimes they could be wrong

D                    C
Nothing wrong with a good time

          D                         C
Just keep yourself protected, make a list

A                                         G
And you can bet your life that the women don't know

A                  G
The little girls are acting like this

B
So the next time a young one moves up

       E
And she whispers in your ear
[Chorus]
         A        G
Get a leg up  (ah, ah)

          A               G
Get a leg over boy  (yeah, yeah)

         A         G
Get a leg up

                A         G
Now don't you be shy, shy, shy?

         A         G
Get a leg up  (ah, ah)

          A               G
Get a leg over boy  (yeah, yeah)

                     A         G

                   A         G
