I'd Rather Go Blind Songtext
von Etta James

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
