Live Version
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
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 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

Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Have you kept your eye your eye on your son
I know you've had problems you're not the only one
But when your sugar left he left you on the run

Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
He went downtown and he 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 got my sympathy
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
You know you got my sympathy
But don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me

In your 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 fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs

Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
It go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce

Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
It go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce

Said I'm giving you a decision to make
Things to lose things to take
Just as she was about ready to cut it up
She said wait a minute honey I'm gonna add it up

I'm gonna add it up add it up add it up add it up
Add it up add it up see what you got
You gotta add it up
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I take a bow and say goodnight
