I'd Rather Go Blind
(written by Ellington Jordan and Etta James;
co-credited to Billy Foster)

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 out

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
Want to watch you leave me, baby
Most of all I just don't want to be free... no

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

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