Ah ah listen everybody (body), specially you girls (girls) Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home I love too hard my friends sometimes say But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) Somebody (Can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with her on my mind Took to find it out all night I been cryin' But I believe a woman's a man's best friend I'm gonna stick by hr till the very end Well she causes so much misery how's a gal supposed to be Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't right
Can I get a witness, can I get a witness (Can I get a witness), I want a witness (Can I get a witness), witness, witness (Can I get a witness), witness, witness (Can I get a witness)
Everybody knows especially you girls That a love can be sad but my beloved's twice as bad Now you kids do all agree that ain't the way it's supposed to be Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) Yeah, I want a witness (Can I get a witness) Somebody (Can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) I want a witness (Can I get a witness) Witness, witness, yeah, I want a witness
