Cancelling Out Songtext
von John Mayall

Saw a chick in the low light
I thought I liked her style
Locked herself in the bathroom
Said she gonna be a while
I cooled off and when she come out
Her hair′s all in Pin curls
Got no eyelashes, you know she's
One of them put together girls

I soon found out
Yeah, I′m wise to your little tricks
Yeah, I got a bad ache in my head now
Why I'm gonna cancel out that kind of chick?


I met a chick one night
Decide to take her home
I was all ready for action
Now we was all alone
Wait a minute, cool down, baby
I'm all in misery
She don′t want none of my lovin′
All she wants is my sympathy

I soon found out
Yeah, I'm wise to them little tricks
Well, you know I got a bad ache in my head now
Why I′m gonna cancel out that kind of chick?

One time I found a sweet baby
She took my breath away
I asked her where she was livin'
Said, "Too far away to stay"
Too young, can′t leave her mother
I might as well be dead
No good writin' love letters, baby
Why I wanna see you in my bed

I soon found out
Yeah, I′m wise to them little tricks
Well, you know I got a bad ache in my head now
Why I'm gonna cancel out that kind of chick?


Some crazy chick in a night gown
Shook her tail and drove me wild
She opened up her mouth to talk
She's just a real dumb child
She giving me all the come on
She said, "I′ll see you again"
Not if I see you first, baby
You know you′re a doll who ain't got no brain

I soon found out
Yeah, I′m wise to them little tricks
Well, you know I got a bad ache in my head now
Why I'm gonna cancel out that kind of chick?

Oh yeah
Mmm
