Lyrics I Can't See for Lookin' - Mose Allison

I Can't See for Lookin'

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'
~interlude~
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
