Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I see
Even when they're right there
Standing next to me
And all of my friends think I'm crazy, for loving you
But they don't know
There's nothing else I can do
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it don't matter, baby
It's too bad, 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so sad
See people don't know
What I know
They say I'm losing my mind
I know I'm losing control
Ayy
All of my friends think I'm crazy, but I don't care
I'm over the edge, no turning back
Belong to you I swear
Ayy
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so bad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it don't matter, baby
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so sad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so bad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it don't matter, baby
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
It's too bad, it's so sad
It's too bad 'cause love is blind
