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
