Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Day after day
I will walk and I will play
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[G][G][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Why can't I get just one kiss
Why can't I get just one kiss
Be[G]lieve me, there'd be some things
that I wouldn't miss
But I [Am]look at your pants and I need a kiss
[Am]Why can't I get just one screw
Why can't I get just one screw
Be[G]lieve me, I know what to do
But [Am]something won't let me make love to you

[Solo 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[G][G][Am][Am]

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

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Day after day
I get [G]an gry and I will [Am]say
That the [Am]day is in my sight
When I'll take a [G]bow and say good[Am]night

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Oh, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-mum
mama-mo-ma-mum
Have you kept your eye,
your eye on your son?
I [G]know you've had problems,
you're not the only one
[Am]When your sugar left, he left you on the run
[Am]Oh, ma-mama, mama-mo-ma-mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's [G]walking around like he's number one
[Am]Went downtown and you got him a gun
So don't [Am]shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You [G]know you've got my sympathy
But don't [Am]shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't [Am]shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You [G]know you've got my sympathy
But don't [Am]shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me

[Solo 2]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[G][G][Am][Am]

[Bridge 2]
[Am]Broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs?
[G]Share a smoke, make a joke
[Am]Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
[Am]Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
[G]Words all failed the magic prize
[Am]Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
[Am]Mo- ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-my mother
I would love to love you, lover
[G]City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Oh, [Am]here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
Say, [Am]mo- ma-mama, mo-ma, mo-my mother
I would love to love you, lover
[G]City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Oh, [Am]here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I've [Am]given you a decision to make
Things to lose, things to take
[G]Just as she's about ready to cut it up
She says, [Am]"wait a a minute, honey,

[Pre-chorus 1]
I'm gonna add it up!"
[Am]Add it up! Add it up!
Add it up! Add it up!
[G]Add it up! Add it up!
[Am]Add it up! Add it up!

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Day after day, I get a[G]n gry
and I will [Am]say (Add it up!)
That the [Am]day is in my sight
When I'll take a [G]bow and say goodnight
[Am](Add it up! Add it up!)

[Outro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[G][G][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[G][G][Am][Am]
[Am]
