Lyrics

[Chorus]
Day after day
I will walk and I will play
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start

[Verse 1]
Bm
Why can't I get just one kiss?
Bm
Why can't I get just one kiss?
  A
Believe me some things that I wouldn't miss
      Bm
But I look at your pants and
I need a kiss
Bm
Why can't I get just one screw?
Bm
Why can't I get just one screw?
  A
Believe me, I'd know what to do
    Bm
But something won't let me make
Love to you

[Verse 2]
Bm
Why can't I get just one fuck?
Bm
Why can't I get just one fuck?
  A
I guess it's got something to do with luck
      Bm
But I waited my whole life for just one

[Chorus]
Bm        Bm
Day after day
         A             Bm
I get angry and I will say
            Bm         Bm
That the day  is in my sight
                 A                 Bm
When I take a bow and say goodnight

[Verse 3]
Bm
Oh, my mom ma mom ma mo my mum
         Bm
Have you kept your eye,
your eye on your son?
  A
I know you've had problems,

        Bm
But when  your sugar left,
he left you on the run
   Bm
So mo my momma momma mo my mum
Bm
Take a look now, what your boy has done
     A
He's wal king a round like he's num ber one
   Bm
He went downtown and he got him a gun
         Bm
So don't shoot, shoot,
shoot that thing at me
      Bm
Don't shoot, shoot,
shoot that thing at me
    A
You know you got my sympathy
          Bm
But don't shoot, shoot,

   Brokendown kitchen at the top of the stairs
Bm
Can I mix in with your affairs?
A
Share a smoke, make a joke
Bm
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
     Bm
Words  to memorize, words hypnotize
Bm
Words make my mouth exercise
A
Words all fail the magic prize
Bm
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
      Bm
But mo  my momma momma mo my mother
Bm
  I would love to love you, lover
    A
The city's restless
It's ready to pounce
      Bm
It go here in your bedroom,
ounce for ounce
         Bm
Sayin' mo  my momma momma mo my mother
Bm
  I would love to love you, lover
    A
The city's restless
It's ready to pounce
      Bm
It go here in your bedroom,
ounce for ounce
         Bm
Said I'm giving you a decision to make
Bm
Things to lose, things to take
A
Just he's 'bout ready to cut it up
          Bm
She said, "Wait a minute, honey,
I'm gonna add it up"

[Chorus]
    Bm
Oh, add it up
Bm A
    See what'cha got,
          Bm
you gotta add it up
Day after day
Bm        Bm
Day after day
