Add It Up

Day after day, I will walk and I will play

But the day after today, I will stop and I will start

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

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 failed the magic prize

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
