why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
there may be something's 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 $#&@
why can't I get just one $#&@

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 mamma mamma 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 mamma mamma 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

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 mamma mamma 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 mamma mamma mo ma mother


I would love to love you lover
the city is restless, it's ready to pounce

here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I've given you, 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
