Blind Man - Raphael Saadiq

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…)
