Add It Up Lyrics

by Violent Femmes

Day after day


I will walk and i will play

But the day after today

I will stop

And i will start my way

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 afterday

I get angry

And i will say

That the day


Is in my sight

When i'll take a bow

And say goodnight
