Something told me it was over When I saw you and him talking Something deep down in my soul said "Cry boy" When I saw you and him out walking I would rather, I would rather go blind girl Than to see you walk away from me child So you see I love you so much I don't want to see you leave me baby Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free I was just, I was just sitting here thinking Of your kiss and your warm embrace child When the reflection in the glass That I been held to my lips now baby Revealed the tears I had on my face I would rather, I would rather be blind child Than to see you walk away from me Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind Than to see you walk away from me
