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
Going down the 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
