Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now here's a song which I guess I have to give credit to
The start of a career
A great song I learnt when I was about sixteen years old
I believe I was singing it then
So please do not guess
Alright?
Only four years, baby, that's right
You can't argue with that, can you?
[Verse 2]
Something told me it was, it was over, baby
When I saw you and that girl, you were talking
Something deep down in my soul just said, go cry it out, baby, yeah, yeah
When I saw you and that same girl, you just walk on by, yeah
[Verse 3]
And I would rather go blind, baby, yeah
Than to see you, see you walk away from me
Don't wanna see go by
See, I love you so much
I don't wanna see you leave
I don't want nothing and one more thing
Don't wanna be free, no Lord
[Verse 4]
I was just, I was just
I was just sitting here thinking
When the reflection in the glass
That I held in my hands now, baby
Revealed the tears that were on my face
Baby, baby, baby
[Verse 5]
I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you, see you walk away from me
And, oh baby, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you, see you walk away from me
Your gone, no
No, no
[Verse 6]
I was just, I was just
I was just sitting here thinking
Your kisses and your warm ways
But I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you, see you walk away from me
[Verse 7]
Baby, baby, baby
I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you, see you leave me, babe
No, no, no, no, no, babe
I love you, and I can't do without you, boy
No, no, baby
Please don't go, boy
[Verse 8]
I knew, Lord, I would rather
(Rather be blind)
Lord, I would rather
(Rather be blind)
Lord, I would rather
Rather go blind
[Verse 9]
And baby, baby, baby, no
(Rather be blind)
No, no, don't go
(Rather be blind)
No baby, don't go
(Rather be blind)
I say no
I do, Lord, I
(Rather be blind)
Oh, I'd, baby
(Rather be blind)
I said, I
(Rather be blind)
Would rather go blind
[Verse 10]
And baby, baby, baby
(Rather be blind)
Baby, baby, baby, no
(Rather be blind)
No, Lord
(Rather be blind)
I said, no, I
I know, Lord, I
(Rather be blind)
Oh, I, baby
(Rather be blind)
I said, I
(Rather be blind)
Would rather go blind
Oh, baby
[Verse 11]
No, baby
I said, no baby
Oh no, baby
Please don't go
No, baby
Oh, baby
Said, no, baby
Please don't go
[Verse 12]
And oh, Lord, I would rather
Oh, I would rather
Said, I would rather
Go blind
Go blind, baby
Blind, baby
I'd rather go blind, baby
Than to see you, see you leave
[Verse 13]
And baby, baby, baby, no
Please don't go
Baby, no
Don't go
'Cause I really love you
I really love you
Said, I really love you
And I'd rather go blind
[Verse 14]
Blind girl
Blind girl
Said a blind girl
Than to see you, see you leave
Than to see you, see you leave
Than to see you, see you leave
I would rather
Whoa, go blind
[Verse 15]
And baby, baby, baby, baby, no
Ooh, don't go
Said, no
Don't go
Ooh, Lord, I would rather
Said, I would rather
Lord, I would rather
Go blind
[Verse 16]
Baby, no
Don't you go
Baby, no
Please don't go
And baby, baby, no
Please don't go
Baby, no
Please don't you go
And, ooh, Lord, I would rather
Said, I would rather
I would rather, oh, go blind
[Verse 17]
Baby, baby, no
Don't you go
Baby, no
Please don't go
And baby, baby, no
Don't you go
Baby, baby, no
Please don't you go
[Verse 18]
No, baby, baby, no
Baby, no
Baby, no, no
Don't you go
Oh, baby, no
Say, baby, no
Don't you go
Don't you go
Rather go blind, baby
I would rather go blind, baby
Said, I would rather go blind, baby
Than to see you, see you leave
No, no, baby
