Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion) Lyrics
I gotta know right now
It's got to be this time
I wanna show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes
(BRIDGE:)
I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'
(CHORUS:)
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby c'mon
Stand up for love
I'm gonna play your game
I wanna play with fire
I want to breathe your air
Baby, gonna take you there
If you lay your cards on the table
I'll lay my love on the line
Till you're mine
(repeat BRIDGE & CHORUS)
You couldn't get it much better
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when you're ready to
You're gonna get what you should
Little by little
Like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Step by step
Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
What a way to go
(repeat CHORUS(first four lines))
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms
And show me what you found
Stand up, kick love into motion
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Stand up, yeah, kick love into motion
I said step by step
Go easy, go slow
Stand up, yeah,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Yeah, on a stairway to heaven
What a way to go, stand up
It's got to be this time
I wanna show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes
I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby c'mon
Stand up for love
I wanna play with fire
I want to breathe your air
Baby, gonna take you there
If you lay your cards on the table
I'll lay my love on the line
Till you're mine
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when you're ready to
You're gonna get what you should
Like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Step by step
Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
What a way to go
Take me in your arms
And show me what you found
Stand up, kick love into motion
My love is like a motor
Runnin' all the time
Stand up, yeah, kick love into motion
I said step by step
Go easy, go slow
Stand up, yeah,
Stand up, kick love into motion
Yeah, on a stairway to heaven
What a way to go, stand up

great leppard song tells about taking a shot at love with that one u have always wanted, makes me think of a girl i really like, great song crank it up
Isn't this song more about a guy who wants some chic and she's not having any of it? So he's telling her to kick love into motion....Def Leppard's great
This song, to me, is about rekindling the feeling that he used to feel through the physical side of a relationship. In the song, Joe is asking his girl why the feeling isn't there anymore, she's become distant, and he wants to prove his love to her and for her to do the same to him. It's my favourite song of all time ever. Pump up the volume!!!
"On the stairway to heaven ,what a way to go" - possille reference to Zeppelin?
yup :)
Wow. Another song completely overlooked by me in my youth.
The song talks about how he is trying to fight to put the love back into their relationship.
Empty chair, empty look. Obviously, there's a distance between the two.
Great song, love the mellow verses, than the big-ass catchy chorus comes in. Love that shit.
-----"On the stairway to heaven ,what a way to go" - possille reference to Zeppelin? -------- gee, ya think? lol
Great Leppard song. A little on the popish side (prefer their rock-n-roll). Awesome tune!
One of my fave songs of my entire music collection! Kinda inspirational, makes you wanna do just what the title says!
