Day after day, I will walk and I will play, but the day after today, I will stop and I will start.
[A] [Bm] [B] Why can't I get just one kiss?
Why can't I get just one kiss?
[A] There'd be some things I wouldn't miss, but [E] I'll itch your pants and I need a kiss.
[B] Why can't I get just one screw?
Why can't I get just one screw?
[A] Believe me, I know what to do, [B] but something won't let me make love to you.
[G]
[D]
[A] [Bm] [B] Why can't I get just one fuck?
Why can't I get just [A] one fuck?
I guess it's got something to do with luck, [B] but I'll wait my whole life for just one.
Day [D]
after [B] day, [A] I get angry and [C#] I will say,
[D] [B] It's at my side, when I [A] take a bow, to say [Bm] goodnight.
[E] [D] Ma ma ma ma, mo my mom, [B] if you kept your eye, your eye on your son,
[A] You know you've had problems, you're not the only one.
[F#] When you showed your left, he left you on the run.
So mo my ma ma [D] ma, mo my mom, [B] you can take a look now, but your boy is done.
[A] He's walking around like he's number one.
[F#] You went downtown and you got all my guns
Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
[A] You know you got my sympathy
[B] 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
[A] You know you got my sympathy
But [B] don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
[Am] [A]
[B] [D] I'm down kitchen [B] at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs?
[F#m] Share [A] a smoke, make a joke
[B] [F#] Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
[B] Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
[E] Words all fail the magic [B] prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
Come on my my my my my my my my mother
[F#] I would love to love you [A] lover
City's restless, it's ready to [F#] pounce
You and your bedroom ounce for [D] ounce
Come on my my my my my my my my mother
[B] I would love to [Bm] love you lover
[A] City's restless, it's ready to [B] pounce
Come on you and your bedroom ounce for ounce
I'm here for you, decision to make
Things to lose, things to [A] take
Just as I rate up, cutting it [B] up
Wait a minute honey, I'm gonna add it up
Add it up
[A] Said you [B] got, you got add it up
Add it up, add it up, add it up
Add it up, add it up, add it up
Add it up, add it up, [A] add it up
Add it up, add it up, add it up
[D] I will say, [B] it's in my hands
I [A] take a fat fall
And [D] say goodnight
[G] [D] [A]
[G] [D]
