Etta James
I’d Rather Go Blind
[Verse 1]
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry, girl" (Cry, cry)
When I saw you and that girl, walking around, ooh
[Chorus]
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you walk away from me child, and all
[Verse 2]
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
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
[Chorus Outro]
And baby, baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
