[Verse 1: Leela James]
Something told me it was over (Yeah, yeah)
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry, girl" (Cry, cry)
When I saw you and that girl walking around
[Chorus: Leela James]
Oh, I'd rather go blind (Yes, I would, yes, I would)
Than to see you walk away from me (Ooh)
[Verse 2: Leela James]
So, you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me, baby
And most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
[Chorus: Leela James]
Oh, I'd rather go blind (Yes, I would, yes, I would)
Than to see you walk away from me (Walk away)
[Verse 3: Shannon Sanders]
Listen, now it ain't what it look like, baby, oh no
She's just a friend, she means nothing to me (Ah, believe me, baby)
'Cause you're all that I want, all that I need
(All that I need, ah baby, ah baby, ah baby)
And with you is wheere I wanna be
I'm telling you
[Chorus: Shannon Sanders, Leela James]
I'd rather go blind (Yes, you would) (Yes, I would)
Than to see you walk away from me (Walk away, oh, walk away)
[Bridge: Leela James & Shannon Sanders]
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
About your kiss and your warm embrace
Hey, and I was just sitting here thinking
About your smile on your pretty, pretty face
Hey, hey, I'd rather go blind
[Chorus: Leela James & Shannon Sanders, Leela James]
I'd rather go blind (Yeah, yeah)
Than to see you
(I don't wanna see you walk away) Walk away from me
(From me, oh baby)
I'd rather go blind (And I'd rather go blind, well)
Than to see you (See you, see you) walk away from me
(Walk away from me, hey, hey)
