I Just Can't See for Looking Songtext
von Nat King Cole

(Robinson, Stamford)

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.
