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



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



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

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

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!



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
