"Once You Get Me Started" lyrics

Somebody is screaming out
Somewhere in the this crowded building
It's gonna be one of those days
Some things you can do without
Love's not one of them
And if that's true, we're on our way

Once you get me started
You won't wanna stop, oh no
No matter what they do
They ain't gonna break through
Me and you

Anybody with half a mind
Would drop me and run for cover
Live to fight another day
But you've never been the same again
Since the day you met your lover
I guess I'm here to stay

Once you get me started
You won't wanna stop, oh no
No matter what they do
They ain't gonna break through
Me and you
Girl, don't be down-hearted
We'll come out on top, oh yeah
No matter what they do
They're gonna have to break through me
To get to you

If someone's hot on your trail
Reading your mail
Right on your tail
Hey, wait a minute, you'll see
They just didn't reckon on me
You and me

Somebody is screaming out
Somewhere in the this crowded building
It's gonna be one of those days

Once you get me started
You won't wanna stop, oh no
No matter what they do
They ain't gonna break through
Me and you
Oh no, girl, don't be down-hearted
We'll come out on top, oh yeah
No matter what they do
They're gonna have to break through me
To get to you

Oh, once you get me started
You won't wanna stop, oh no
No matter what they do
They're gonna have to break through me
To get to you

Oh, once you get me started girl
You'll never won't wanna stop
Oh, once you get me started girl
Come on, baby, start me up
One you do, I ain't never gonna stop
No no no
Come on, baby, now start me up
One you do, I ain't gonna stop
