“Blind Alley” is a soul song by family trio The Emotions from their Stax-period in the early 70’s. Though the song was a B-Side of their single “My Honey & Me,” it took on a life of its own once it became a prominent sample in Big Daddy Kane’s biggest hit “Ain’t No Half Steppin” in 1988.

Blind Alley Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey boy, you got a good conversation
You got a real smooth line
But you're not penetrating
Somebody else has got my time
[Chorus]
You're runnin' up a blind alley, blind alley
Blind alley, blind alley
You see, I've got who I want
(Got who I want, sorry you don't!)
[Verse 2]
My love told me you were coming
Said you would try and break us up
But let me tell you something
Your talk ain't good enough
[Chorus]
You're runnin' up a blind alley, blind alley
Blind alley, blind alley
You see, I've got who I want
(Got who I want, sorry you don't!)
Ohhh, baby
Too bad, child!
[Verse 3]
What you want is temporary
But what I got is gonna last
One day we're gonna marry
So quit your talking so fast
[Chorus]
You're runnin' up a blind alley, blind alley
Blind alley, blind alley
You see, I've got who I want
(Got who I want, sorry you don't!)
[Vamp] (4x)
You're running up a blind alley
You're running, you're running
You're running up a blind alley
You're running, you're running
[Ad-Libs]
Ohhh, baby
I tried to let you know
But every time I turn around...
I've got who I want (Sorry you don't)
Baby, baby, baby
I love him, yes I do
He pleases me, yes he does (Sorry you don't)
I hope you find the right one
Yes I do
I've got who I want (Sorry you don't)
I wish you all the luck in the world
Oh yeah
I've got who I want! (Sorry you don't)
