Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry'
When I saw you and her walkin' out
Ooh, I would rather go blind
Than to see you walk away from me, child
Ooh, so you see I love you so much
I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't want, I just don't wanna be free
I was just, I was just sittin' here thinkin'
Of your kiss and your warm embrace
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face
Ooh and baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind
Than to see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind
Than to see you walk away from me, yeah
I would rather be blind
Than to see you walk away from me
