I'd Rather Go Blind

Clarence Carter

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. 

I would rather, 
I would rather go blind, boy, 
Than to see you walk away from me, child. 
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 want to be free, no. 

I was just, I was just, 
I was just sitting here thinking 
Of your kiss and your warm embrace, 
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, baby 
Revealed the tears that was on my face. 

And 
Baby, baby, I'd rather be blind, boy, 
Than to see you walk away from me.
