Keep My Motor Runnin'

(album: No Control - 1982)

Same old room, in the same old bed
Same old ceiling hanging over my head
Things that bother me
Well, they never seem to bother you

Eight o' clock and I'm getting out
I'm going crazy hanging 'round the house
Trying to start my car up
Try to keep it running right to you

Come to your window
I'm waiting for you to

Keep my motor running
You got the key to keep it on
Keep my engine humming and humming and humming
Keep my motor running

My so-called friends keep a-hanging out
Everybody's crazy when my girl comes out
Trying to steal my cookies
Trying to take them from my cookie jar

All those boys wanna push and shove
I'm waiting for them with my boxing gloves
They'll never take you from me
No, I'll never let them get that far

I'm still waiting for you
The only one to

Keep my motor running
You got the key to keep it on
Keep my engine humming and humming and humming
Keep my motor running
Running and running
Humming and humming

I'm still waiting for you
You're the only one to

Keep my motor running
Give me some juice to keep it on
Keep my engine hummin, humming, humming

Keep my motor running
Give me the key to keep it on, yeah
Keep my engine humming and humming and, and humming
Keep my motor running
