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
A5
Believe me some things that I wouldn't miss
         B5(stac)
But I look at your pants and I need a kiss
B5
Why can't I get just one screw, why can't I get just one screw
     A5                                               B5(stac)
Believe me I'd know what to do but something won't let me make love to you

A5(stac)                A5(stac)              B5(stac)
Share a smoke . . . make a joke . . . grasp and reach for a leg of hope
B5
Words to memorize, words hip-matize, words make my mouth exercise
