You Can't See For Lookin'
Oh, baby, I want you to listen
To what i have to say
Baby, yeah
It's so easy for someone to tell you somethin' bad about me
'Cause that's what, that's what your ears want to hear
Then for someone to tell you
That i'm bein' a good woman
And lovin' you, lovin' you only my dear
But i'm gonna do the very best i can
To get you to try and understand
That when you look for trouble
You're gonna find it somewhere
And what I wanna say right here
Is that
You can't

You can't see
For lookin', no
Hey, hey

No, you just can't see
For lookin'
No
Now your poor excuses for friends
They're all out to bring you down
And you don't realize
That's what they're tryin' to do to you
So you spend most of your time
Disbelieving me
Swearin', swearin' i'm being untrue to you
But i'm not gonna let them
Tear us apart gettin' next to your jealous heart
Aw, because i love you, daddy
And i want to make that clear
And what I wanna say right here
Is that
You can't
You can't
You can't
You cant see
For lookin'
And I don't believe you wanna
