Add It Up - Live At The Boathouse / 1991

Day after day
I will walk and I will play
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start
(One, two, three, four)

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, ah, 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 take a bow and say goodnight

Oh, ma-mama, mama-mama-mum
Have you kept your eye, your eye on your son
I know you've got problems, you're not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run

Mo-ma-mama, mama-mo-mi-mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
He went downtown and he got him a gun

Said shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You know you 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
Shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me

Broken down the kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs
Share a smoke, make a joke
You got to grasp and reach for a leg of hope

Lots of words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all failed the magic prize
Nothing I can say, I'm in your thighs

Oh, ma-mama, mama-ma, my mother
I would love to love you, lover
City's restless, it's ready to pounce
You know you're here in your bedroom, ounce-for-ounce, said

Oh, ma-mama, mama-ma, my mother
I would love to love you, lover
The city's restless, and it's ready to pounce
Here in your bedroom, ounce-for-ounce, said

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", uh

Add it up, add it up (eh)
Add it up, add it up
Add it up (you know activity come) add it up (eh)???
You got add it up, add it up

(Up-up-up, add it up, add it up, add it up) day after day
(Add it up, add it up) I get angry
And I will say (add it up, add it up)
That the day (add it up, add it up) is in my sight (add it up, add it up)

(Add it up, add it up) when I'll take a bow
(Add it up) and say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
