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  
Believe me there'd be somethings that I wouldn't miss  
But I look at your pants and I need 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 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 failed 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  
Oh, here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce  
  
Oh, ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-ma mother  
I would love to love you, lover  
City is restless, it's ready to pounce  
Oh, 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!  
Add it up! 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
