[Chorus]
A Bm (riff 1)
Somethin' told me it was over, baby... (yeah)
A (riff 2)
When I saw you and that girl talking, baby.
Bm (riff 3)
Somethin' deep down in my soul said, go on and 'cry girl' (cry cry)
A (riff 4)
When I saw you and that same girl walkin', around.
A Bm
Whoo. And I would rather, I would rather be a blind girl, baby
A (riff 2)
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me baby, oh yeah
A
Whoo. Cause you see, I love you so much,
Bm
That, I don't wanna watch you leave me baby.
A (riff 2)
And another thing is I, I just don't wanna be free, no baby
Bm
Now listen, I was just, I was just, sitting here thinking
A (riff 2)
About your sweet kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
(riff 1) Bm (riff 1)
When a reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby (yeah yeah),
A (riff 5)
Revealed the tears that are on my face, oh yeah
Bm
And baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be a blind girl
Oh, I'd rather be a blind girl than to see you walk away from me, boy
Bm
Whoo, And Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind, boy
