[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Ooh
I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me child and all
[Verse 2]

Than to see you walk away, walk away from me, yeah
And baby, and baby, I'd rather be blind now
Than to see you walk away from me

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
