Lyrics Blind Man - Raphael Saadiq

Blind Man

The other day when I was walking down the street
I had trouble on my mind
Yes, I did now
I saw a blind man walking
I heard him call my name
Couldn’t believe what he said to me
He said he felt my pain
There was nothing I could say or do
For the words that he spoke were more than true
Took two steps back and looked in his eyes
And ooh, this is what he said
He said that I heard your voice (I heard your voice)
Here’s her name (Here's her name)
Knock on that door (Knock on that door)
She’ll let you in (She'll let you in)
Say my name (Say my name, say my name)
He said for twenty two dollars
She’ll take away the pain
I knocked and the door opened
Ooh, what a pretty sight to see
Now I knew this blind man knew me
'Cause how would he know what I liked when he can’t even see?
She told me to have a seat
Would you like a drug, or something to eat?
Now number one didn’t appeal to me
But number two was just fine
But I think I need curtain number three
She said that I heard your voice (I heard your voice)
He told me your name (He told me your name)
Don’t say a word, you have been framed
Say my name (Say my name)
Now keep your twenty-two dollars or you’ll be worse than you came
He said I heard your voice (Yeah yeah)
Here’s her name (Here's her name)
Knock on that door (Knock on that door)
She’ll let you in (She'll let you in)
Say my name (Say my name, please)
He said for twenty-two dollars
She’ll take away, she’ll take away the pain, yes, she will
He heard my voice (Yes he did, yes he did)
Here is her name (Said here’s her name)
Knock on that door (And I knocked on that door)
She’ll let you in (She'll let you in)
Say my name (Say my name, that’s all he said to me today)
He said for twenty-two dollars
She’ll take away, she’ll take away the pain, yes, she will
I heard your voice (She said she heard my voice)
He told me your name (He told her my name)
Don’t say a word, you have been framed
Say my name (Say my name, say my name)
Now keep your twenty-two dollars or you’ll be worse than you came
I heard your voice (He said he heard my voice)
Here’s her name
Knock on that door
She’ll let you in
Say my name
(I never met someone like this before, she had eyes of a diamond…)
