Violent Femmes – Add It Up lyrics

Day after day
I will walk and I will play
but the day after today
I will stop
and I will start
why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
there may be something's that I wouldn't miss
but I look at your pants and I need a kiss
why can't I get just one screw
why can't I get just one screw
believe me I know what to do
but something won't let me make love to you
why can't I get just one fuck
why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's got something to do with luck
but I waited my whole life for just one
day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I'll take a bow
and say goodnight
oh my my, my my mum
have you kept your eye, your eye on your son
I know you've had problems, you're not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run
oh my my, my my mum
take a look now at what your boy has done
he's walking around like he's number one
went downtown and you got him a gun
so don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you've got my sympathy
but don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you've got my sympathy
but don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
going down the kitchen at the top of the stairs
can I mix in with your affairs
share a smoke, make a joke
grasp and reach for a leg of hope
words to memorize, words hypnotize
words make my mouth exercise
words all failed the magic prize
nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
oh my my, my my mother
I would love to love you lover
city is restless, it's ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
oh my my, my my mother
I would love to love you lover
the city is restless, it's ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I've given you, decision to make
things to lose, things to take
just as she's about ready to cut it up
she says wait a minute honey, I'm gonna add it up
add it up'add it up'add it up?
day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I'll take a bow
and say goodnight
