I Can't See for Lookin' Songtext
von Mose Allison

Maybe I talk too much,
Maybe I′ve lost m' touch.
I guess I don′t know what's cookin'
′cause I just can′t see for lookin'.

Other boys have their chicks,
Two, three, four, five or six.
I don′t seem to get a bookin'
′cause I just can't see for lookin′.


I'm kinda crazy,
Like a daisy
Up that well known tree, poor me.
I'm sittin′, hopin′,
Horoscopin'
Won′t some sista' take a chance with me?

I′ve been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, I'm just a dope.
There ain′t no gals for hookin',
I just can't see for lookin′.

I′ve been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, I'm just a dope.
There ain′t no gals for hookin',
I just can′t see for lookin'

No, just can′t see for lookin'
No, no.
