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 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 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 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 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 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

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'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. 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
