"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:

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 for the swear word for airplay.
