Etta James
I’d Rather Go Blind
[Verse 1]
Something told me that it was over, baby, yeah
When I saw you
When I saw you and that girl
And y'all was talking

[Verse 2]
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 with that same person
And y'all was walking around

[Chorus]
And I'd rather
I'd rather be a blind girl, baby, yeah, yeah
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me, baby
Don't leave me, I don't wanna see you go

[Verse 3]
'Cause you see, I love you so much
And 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
[Verse 4]
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
About your sweet kiss and your, your warm embrace
Hmm, your warm embrace
Hmm, yo, yo, warm, warm embrace

[Bridge]
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, babe, no, babe, oh, oh
Oh babe

[Interlude]
All day sitting up
Sitting up thinking about you, mmhm

[Guitar Solo]

[Break]
Myself, I don't wanna see you leave
Please don't go
Oh, babe, no, babe, oh, babe
I'd rather be a blind girl
[Verse 1]
Something told me that it was over, baby
When I saw you
When I saw you and that girl
And y'all was talking

[Verse 2]
Something deep down in my soul said
"Go on, go on and cry, girl"
When I saw you, when I saw you and that girl
And y'all was walking by

[Chorus]
And I'd rather go blind, I'd rather go blind
I'd rather go blind, babe
Than to see you walk away, walk away
Don't walk away 'cause I'd rather go blind
