Blind Man Songtext
von Raphael Saadiq

The other day while I was walking down the street.
I had troubles 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 -
Ooh this is what he said

He said that I heard your voice, I heard ya' voice
Here is her name, knocked on that door,
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


II
I knocked and the door opened
Ooh, what a pretty sight to see
Now I knew this blind man knew me
Cuz' 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 need curtain number three

II
She said that I heard your voice, I heard your voice
He told me your 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

Ooh he said I heard your voice and Here′s her name
Knocked on that door, she'll let you in
Say my name (say my name, say my name) Please (that′s all she said to me today)
He said for twenty-two dollars she'll take away, she′ll take away your pain Yes she will

Guitar Solo
Wait a second


III Out
He heard my voice (yes he did, yes he did)
Here is her name
I knocked on that door, 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 your pain
Yes she will

I heard your voice, (She said she heard my voice)
He told me your 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 is her name
Knocked on that door, she'll let you in
Say my name (say my name, that′s all he said to me today)
(I never met someone like this before, she had eyes with diamonds) He said for twenty-two dollars she'll take away, she′ll take away your pain
Yes she will
