I'd Rather Go Blind

by Etta James

Lyrics

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.

I wasn't aware of this song until i watched Cadilac Records. When I hear Beyonce' sing that song it brought tear to my eyes. I love Etta James for recording this record. Much Love!
