My friend says he's real cute
And he drives a nice car
And he's so generous
Can you go tonight?
Are you available?

He's got plenty money
And he's fun to be with
He dresses in the finest clothes
Don't cha blow this chance
Are you available?

Blind dating
But I don't wanna go
Blind dating
Maybe I just won't show up
Blind dating
But then good men are scarce
I don't know
I'd better fix my hair
Just in case, you know

He's a fancy dancer
And he'll wine and dine you
He's not like the others
Let me remind you that he's available

But I don't wanna go
Maybe I just won't show up
But then good men are scarce
It's all right for tonight

Blind dating
What should I wear?
Blind dating
I don't know him
Why should I even care?
Blind dating
She fixed my hair up tonight
This had better be good
This had better be good!

I don't really know
I wasn't going to do anything anyway
But stay home and watch some TV
I don't know if I have anything to wear
And she is my best friend
She ain't gonna fix me up with no fool

It's all right for tonight
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Blind dating
But I don't wanna go
Blind dating
Maybe I just won't show up
Blind dating
But then good men are really scarce
Well, maybe I'll better fix my hair
Just in case it turns out to be someone

Blind dating
But I don't wanna go
Blind dating
Maybe I just won't show up
Blind dating
But then good men are scarce
I don't know
But I'm going anyway, whoa, whoa

Blind dating
What should I wear?
Blind dating
I don't know him
Why should I even care?
Blind dating
She fixed my hair up tonight

Deniece Williams (born name June Deniece Chandler) is an American singer, songwriter and producer. She was born June 3, 1950. She has been described as “one of the great soul voices” by the BBC. Williams has won four Grammys with twelve nominations altogether.

As Deniece Chandler, she recorded for The Toddlin' Town group of labels. One of those early records, “I’m Walking Away”, released on Toddlin’s subsidiary Lock Records in the late 1960s, is a favorite on England’s Northern Soul scene. In the early 1970s she became a backup vocalist for Stevie Wonder as part of “Wonderlove”, lending her vocals on his albums Talking Book, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life. Williams also guested in 1974 on Syreeta Wright’s album Stevie Wonder Syreeta as well as Minnie Riperton’s Perfect Angel album and a year later on Roberta Flack’s Feel Like Makin' Love.
