Irma Thomas Lyrics
"I'd Rather Go Blind"

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
