Something told me it was over (yeah)

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 out

Ooh, I would rather

I would rather go blind boy,

than to see you

walk away from me child

So you see,

I love you so much

that I don't want

to watch you leave me babe

most of all I just don't,

I just dont want to be free no

I was just, I was just,

I was just sittin here

thinking of your kiss

and your warm embrace, yeah

when the reflection of the glass

that I held to my lips now babe,

revealed the tears

that was on my face yeah

and baby, baby,

I'd rather be blind boy

than to see you

walk away from me

baby baby baby...

I'd rather be blind
