lyrics

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and that man talkin'
Something deep inside said, ‘Go ahead and cry, boy'
When I saw you and that man runnin’ around

I would rather go blind, girl
Than to see you walk away from me, child
See, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I don't wanna be free

I was just, I was just sittin’ here thinkin',
‘Bout your kiss and your sweet embrace,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that were on my face,

I would rather go blind, girl
Than to see you walk away from me, child
See, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I don't wanna be free
