BLIND SPOT

By: Jim L'Esperance

I’m the only sucker in the room
Who did not see that comin'
Why do I ha-da be such a fool
Why do my mouth always gotta be runnin'
Well it turns out we all got places
That can only get seen from the top
It doesn’t matter how much you wanna check it
Every rear view mirror got a blind spot

I’m in the bedroom workin' on a tune
She on the phone just a talkin' bout nothin'
I didn’t see her when she walk into the room
She say hey, we gotta talk about somethin'
Look in the mirror and I turn into her lane
I didn’t know about a certain kinda pain
She say I hate to say
But I’m leavin' you today
I got a ticket on the 5:10 train
Yeah I hate to say
But I’m leavin' you today
I got a ticket on the 5:10 train

There’s a reason they be callin' it a blind spot
You won’t be seein' it till it’s too late
You’ll be rollin' in a dead spin
Wonderin' what happened
And your life’ll never be the same.

And you’d give everything you have for just one shot
To go back and do it all again
But that’s the chance you took
When you took a quick look
Didn’t see it and the game changed
Yeah that’s the chance you took
When you took a quick look
You didn’t see it and the game changed

I’m in the back room beggin' her ta stay
She movin' on and she won’t say nothin'
Hey what’d I do anyway
Or is another brother comin' up a knockin'
Look in the mirror and I turn Into her lane
I didn’t know about a certain kind pain
She say it ain’t that way
You can blame it on a game
But the feelin' dun gone away
No it ain’t that way
You can blame it on a game
But the feelin' dun gone away

Well there’s a reason they be callin' it a blind spot
You won’t be seein' it till it’s too late
You’ll be rollin' in a dead spin
Wonderin' what happened
And your life’ll never be the same.
And you’d give everything you have for only one shot
To go back and do it all again
But that’s the chance you took
When you took a quick look
Didn’t see it and the game changed
Yeah that’s the chance you took
When you took a quick look
Didn’t see it and the game changed

Well I’m the only sucker in the room
Who did not see that comin'
Why do I ha-da be such a fool
Why do my mouth always gotta be runnin'
Well it turns out we all got places
That can only get seen from the top
It doesn’t matter how much you wanna check it
Every rear view mirror got a blind spot
It doesn’t matter how much you wanna check it
Every rear view mirror got a blind spot
