Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 now
[Chorus]
Ooh
I would rather
I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me, child, no
Ooh
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
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
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, babe (Yeah, yeah)
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
[Chorus]
Ooh
And, baby
Baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy (Baby, baby, baby)
Than to see you walk away
See you walk away from me, yeah
Ooh
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now (Baby, baby, baby)
Baby, baby
