Raphael Saadiq
Blind Man (Live at the House of Blues)
[Intro]
Just the other day, when I was walking down the street
Y'all ain't ready for this
Like Snoop Dogg say, y'all ain't ready to have chuuch
Just the other day, when I was walking down the street
I had trouble on my mind — yes, I did now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
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 uh, ooh, this is what he said

[Chorus 1]
He said that I heard your voice (I heard your voice)
Here is 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
[Verse 2]
I knocked and the door opened
Ooh, what a pretty sight to see
Now I knew this blind man knew me
How would he know what I like when he can't even see
She told me to have a seat — she said this, she said
Would you like a drug or something to eat? I said
Number one didn't appeal to Saadiq
But number two was just fine, but I think need curtain number three

[Chorus 2]
She said that I heard your voice, I heard your voice
He told me your name (Here's her name)
Don't say a word (Don't say a word), you have been framed (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
(You're gonna be, you're gonna be worse than you came)
I heard your voice (I heard your voice)
Here is 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, that's all she said to me today)
Now get your twenty-two dollars she'll take away the pain
(You're gonna be, you're gonna be worse that you came)

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 3]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, she said she heard my voice, yes, she did)
He heard my voice (Yes, she did, yeah, yeah)
Here is 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, that's all he said to me)
So get your twenty-two dollars, she'll take away
(She'll take away, she'll take away your pain, yes, she will)
I heard your voice (I heard your voice)
He told me your name (Here's her name)
Don't say a word (Don't say a word)
You have been framed (You have been framed)
Say my name (Say my name, say my name)
She said for twenty-two dollars or you'll be worse than you came
(She'll take away, she'll take away your pain, yes, she will)

[Outro]
I heard your voice
Here is her name
Knock on that door
She'll let you in
Say my name (Say my name, my name)
She said for twenty-two dollars, she'd take away
She'd take away the pain
Thank you
