Kiss Off
The Violent Femmes
The Violent Femmes, Add It Up

---

I need someone a person to talk to
Someone who’d care to love could it be you
Could it be you
Situation gets rough and I start to panic
It’s not enough it’s just a habit
Hey kid you’re sick well darling this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They’ll hurt me bad, but I won’t mind
They’ll hurt me bad
They do it all the time yeah yeah
Yeah they do it all the time yeah yeah
They do it all the time
Do it all the time
They do it all the time
Do it all the time
They do it all the time
Do it all the time
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record
Oh yeah? well don’t get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I’m impressed
I take 1, 1, 1 cuz you left me
And 2, 2, 2 for my family
And 3, 3, 3 for my heartache
And 4, 4, 4 for headaches
And 5, 5, 5 for my lonely
And 6, 6, 6 for my sorrow
And 7, 7 for n-n-n-no tomorrow
And 8, 8 I forget what 8 was for
But 9, 9, 9 for a lost God
10, 10, 10, 10 for everything everything everything everything
Oh you can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They’ll hurt me bad but I won’t mind
They’ll hurt me bad
They do it all the time yeah yeah
Yeah they do it all the time yeah yeah
Yeah they do it all the time
Do it all the time
Do it all the time
Do it all the time...
