I Heard Love Is Blind Lyrics
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He’s just not as tall, but I couldn’t tell
It was dark and I was lying down
I can’t even remember his name
Why’re you so upset?
Baby, you weren’t there and I was thinking of you when I came
You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch
Don’t overreact – I pretended he was you
You wouldn’t want me to be lonely
I didn’t let him hold my hand
But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you
No he wasn’t you
But you can still trust me, this ain’t infidelity
It’s not cheating; you were on my mind
But I heard love is blind
I don't think this is a parody at all. A lot of people truly think this way and separate love from sex.
I think it is sung with a bit of sarcasm. it's clear if you watch her performing it live. she doesn't REALLY care about her current boyfriend while she's trying to explain everything to him it's more that she's explaining the situation to herself trying to calm herself down. she's not a cheater,, it was just dark, you know :)
@madame I agree!

First she says heartwarming words, and ends with something like: -but I couldn't tell, it was dark and I was lying down... She doesn't care about her boyfriend, to me she's making fun of the whole situation giving regular excuses and then saying something the boyfriend didn't needed to know (haha) and then nice stuff and all that goes on and on in the lyrics.

And in the last paragraph:
And in the last paragraph:
Yes he looked like you But I heard love is blind
Yes he looked like you But I heard love is blind
Even when the other guy looked physically like her boyfriend she really didn't care about that...
Even when the other guy looked physically like her boyfriend she really didn't care about that because "love is blind"
she slept with a boy that looked like her current boyfriend when she was drunk but she is trying to explain that she just had sex with him and sex is sex, she didn't love him or even care about him and she thought about her current boyfriend the whole time. She is trying to tell him that her heart is still his when her body was the other dudes so it doesn't really count. Her love for her boyfriend and the fact that the other boy looked like him blinded her.
Or, in other words, she was drunk and made a terrible mistake.
Just shows what alcohol can do to you.
Uhmm I think it is a paradoy of the excuses a man or woman can come up with for infidelity. It is hella funny.
i love how it ends with but i heard love was blind. i think it means that it doesn't matter what he looked like or whatever, love is love, and it it doesnt matter what they look like.
Came across this song only recently and wow, what a frickin' song!!
Sounds like a combination of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott...
Anyhow, didn't really know what she was singing until I read the lyrics now and I'm really impressed...
She takes such a unique perspective on cheating, or unique in terms of the way she wrote it... The last line "But I heard love is blind" is what it is, but if you think beyond the literal meaning, she's saying that love does not see, it feels... it's something inside of you that isn't physical... the sex she had with the other person was completely physical and heartless, because in her mind, she was thinking of the guy she loves...
i think it is part parody at least.
Amy´s really a witty songwriter. This sounds like a parody to what many men have always said to their wives through ages. The strangest thing is that I get the feeling that if a man sang this, people would laugh; since it´s a woman who does, many people feel disgusted by the lyrics.
i love this song it does sound kinda like a parody. but lets not forget women cheat too. i loooveee the lyrics. imma chick and i felt like this once. mii man left me alone im drinking cause im stressing and i need his touch. but since he wasnt there i got it from someone else. yet the other guy wasnt anything important.
