I Can't See for Lookin' - 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
