When I see you in the morning
As the sky is turning light
Standing there in all your glory
Oh you're looking so right
You move in sunbeams from the shadows
With your never-ending lines
You're standing there so proud before me
How your body always shines
Well you're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you
You always take what you're given
As you live with me today
And you give me what I'm taking
As we're going on our way
'cos you're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you
We get together on the outside
On the outside looking in
Taking chances on the down side
On the outside we can win
You're a lean machine
Do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you
You're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
'cos you're a lean machine
And I love you
You're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you
