Etta James - Gospel Blues

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

I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy

Than to see you walk away from me, child, no
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

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

And baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd 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
