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'.

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