Can I Get a Witness

Oh, listen everybody, especially you boys

Is it right to be left alone

While the one you love is never home?

Well, I love too hard, but my friends sometimes say

That I believe, I believe that a man should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside to see him treat me so unkind

Somebody, somewhere tell him it's not fair

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Somebody

Is it right to be treated so bad

When you've given everything you had?

You've been tossin' in my sleep

Was I ever seen within the week?

Oh, you boys agree that this ain't the way

Love's supposed to be

Let me hear you, let me hear you say it

Up early in the morning with him on my mind

Oh, just to find out all night that I've been cryin'

But I believe that a woman, a man best befriend

And I'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end

But he caused so much misery that I forget how love's supposed to be

Somebody, somewhere tell him it's not fair

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Witness, witness

Oh, everybody knows, especially you boys

That a love can be sad, but half a love is twice as bad

Now all you boys agree that this ain't the way

Love's supposed to be

Let me hear you, let me hear you say it

Oh, I want a witness

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Witness, witness

Can I get a witness?

Can I get, can I get a witness?

I want a witness

I want a witness

Everybody

Got to get a witness
