Get A Leg Up

John Mellencamp

Transposer:

verse 1 Don’t look at me don’t touch me Keep your mind straight ahead Don’t get no funny ideas about me Or you’ll wish that you were dead That’s what I’m thinking she must be thinking The girl I spent 53 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  (ah ah) Get a leg over boy  (yeah yeah) Get a leg up What’s the matter are you shy shy shy? verse 2 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 down the road Together we will thrill ya And I’m thining to myself I could be lucky Pierre tonight Get a leg up  (ah ah) Get a leg over boy  (yeah yeah) Get a leg up What’s the matter are you shy shy shy? Solo      verse 3 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  (ah ah) Get a leg over boy  (yeah yeah) Get a leg up Now don’t you be shy shy shy? Get a leg up  (ah ah) Get a leg over boy  (yeah yeah) Now you know I ain’t handsome But you know I aint shy shy shy Get a leg up  (ah ah) Get a leg over boy  (yeah yeah) Get a leg up Now don’t you be shy shy shy?

La chanson évoque une rencontre un peu coquine entre un homme et une femme, où il se sent hésitant face à ses avances. Les paroles mettent en lumière les pensées du narrateur qui, malgré son désir, se montre prudent et conscient des jugements hâtifs. Il réalise qu'il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences et qu’une soirée peut mener à des surprises agréables. Le message principal encourage à être ouvert aux opportunités, tout en restant sur ses gardes. Un mélange d'insouciance et de légèreté traverse l'ensemble, ce qui donne une atmosphère intrigante à cette rencontre imprévisible.
