I'd Rather Go Blind
✕
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around, whoo
I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no (whoo)
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 (whoo, whoo)
I was just, I was just, I was just sittin here thinkin'
Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah (whoo)
And baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah (whoo)
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...

Etta James( Jamesetta Hawkins ) I'd Rather Go Blind
Lyricist：Billy Foster, Ellington Jordan
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry girl'
When I saw you and that girl, walking out
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all,
I just don't, I just don't want to be free, no

I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, now baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
And baby, baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
Something told me it was over
when I saw you and her talking,
Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´,
when I saw you and that girl, walking out.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all.
Ooooo So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no
I was just, I was just, I was just

Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby,
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
