Violent Femmes - Add It Up
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?
believe me there's some things 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 within my sight
when I’ll take a bow
and say goodnight.
Oh my my mymymy mo mo 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 mymymy mo mo mum
take a look now at what your boy has done
he’s walking around like he’s number one
went downtown and he 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
Broken down 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 fail the magic prize
nothin' I can say when I’m in your thighs
Mo my my mymymy mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
city is restless, it’s ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
Mo my my mymymy mo 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’m givin' you decision to make
things to lose, things to take
just as he’s about ready to cut it up
she said, "wait a minute honey, I’m gonna add it up"
Oh
Add it up!
Add it up!
Add it up!
Add it up!
(repeat)
day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is within my sight
when I’ll take a bow
and say goodnight
i'm not sure about the last part if he says, "just as he's about ready..." or if it's she's. i've seen it written both ways. i think it's he's though. i love this song.
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?
