Lyrics
Something told me that it was over, baby, yeah
When I saw you, when I saw you and that girl
And her was talkin'
Something deep down, something deep down in my soul
Said, "Go on, go on and cry, girl"
When I saw you, when I saw you and that same person
And you was walkin' by
And I'd rather, I'd rather be a blind girl, baby, yeah
Then to see you walk away, walk away from me, baby
Don't leave me, I don't wanna see you go
'Cause you see, I love you so much
I don't wanna watch you leave me
Don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
And another thing is, one more thing is
I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, scared to be by myself
I was just, I was just sittin' here thinkin'
About your sweet kiss and your, your
Ooh, I see y'all know who I'm talkin' about when I say
I wanna sit here and think about your sweet kiss
And y'all know what I'm talkin' about when I say
When I look down in the glass that I held to my lips
And I saw the reflection of the tears rolling down my face
That's when I knew I love you and I couldn't do without you
And I'd rather be a blind girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hold me, hold me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh baby, oh babe
Baby, yeah-yeah
I said, I don't wanna see you leave
Please don't go
Oh babe, oh babe
Oh, babe
Oh, I'd rather be blind a blind girl
