I'd Rather Go Blind lyrics

Something told me it was over

When I saw you and her talkin'

Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'

When I saw you and that girl walkin' around, whoo

I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy

Then to see you walk away from me, child, no (whoo)

So you see, I love you so much

That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby

Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no (whoo, whoo)

I was just, I was just, I was just sittin here thinkin'

Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah

When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby

Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah (whoo)

And baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy

Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah (whoo)

Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
