I was blind and i could not see
That you were gettin' away from me
But now i know that you are gone
I live by the night
And slumber through the day
Because life don't seem worth livin' anyway
If i could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Tell me why my love want leave me in misery
Oh, now i haven't be true
But this one i want to be my wife
So baby please, please think of you and me
If i could only see
Life would be so miserable to me
Why would the one i love want to leave me in misery
Oh, haven't been true all of my life
Ah, but this one i want, want her to be my wife
So baby please, baby please think of you and me
