Violent Femmes - Add It Up Lyrics

Violent Femmes - Add It Up Video

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 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 in my sight
When I'll take a bow and say goodnight
 
Oh, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-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, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-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
 
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
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
 
Oh, ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-ma mother
I would love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Go! here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
 
And, moma-mama, mo-ma, mo-ma mother
I would love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Go here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
 
I've given you a 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! (Say what you got!)
 
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
