"Add It Up" is a song by American rock band Violent Femmes, released on their 1983 debut album Violent Femmes.
It contains the lyrics:
- Why can't I get just one screw
- Believe me I'd 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
Band member, Gordon Gano, commented:
I was in my bedroom -- that's where I wrote it -- feeling frustrated. I had nowhere to go and nothing to do. It just happened to feel good lyrically . . . and it still does.[1]
The song title was used as the name for the compilation album by the group, Add It Up (1981-1993).
Some radio stations substitute a guitar note substituted for the swear word for airplay.
