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
