| Listen everybody, especially you girls
|
| Is it right to be left alone
|
| When the one you love is never home?
|
| And 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 ya all treat me so unkind
|
| Somebody, somewhere tell her it ain’t fair
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| (Can I get a witness?)
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| (Can I get a witness?)
|
| Somebody, somebody
|
| (Can I get a witness?)
|
| Is it right to be treated so bad
|
| When you’ve given everything you had?
|
| Even tossin' in my sleep
|
| 'Cause I haven’t seen my baby all week
|
| Now, you chicks do agree
|
| That this ain’t the way love’s supposed to be
|
| Lemme hear, lemme hear you say, «Yeah, hey»
|
| Up early in the mornin'
|
| With her on my mind
|
| Just to find out all night that I’ve been cryin'
|
| 'Cause I believe a woman is a man’s best friend
|
| I’m gonna stick by her right here, right now
|
| Till the very end
|
| But she caused me so much misery
|
| That I forget how love’s supposed to be
|
| Lemme hear, lemme hear you say, «Hey, hey»
|
| I want a witness
|
| (I want a witness)
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| (Witness, witness)
|
| I want a witness
|
| (I want a witness)
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| (Witness, witness)
|
| Everybody knows especially you girls
|
| That love can be sad
|
| But I have a love that’s twice as bad
|
| All you chicks agree
|
| That this ain’t the way love’s supposed to be
|
| Lemme hear you, lemme hear you say, «Yeah, hey»
|
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
|
| Can I get a witness?
|
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
|
| Somebody, in the mornin'
|
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
|
| I need a witness, 'round about noon
|
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
|

|
| When time’s to come and who’s to be
|
