| 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 need you, I need a witness | 
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?) | 
| Early in the mornin', satisfied | 
| (I want a witness, can I get a witness?) | 
| I just want somebody to hold me tight | 
| I need somebody to squeeze at night | 
| I had a little girl when I was, you know | 
| When time’s to come and who’s to be | 
| I remember I am, girl set me free | 
| She makes me move like I never did | 
| She give me everything I want then |

| So baby, I gotta move | 
| I gotta move, I wanna move | 
| I need a witness, I gotta move | 
| I need a witness | 
| I need it, I need |
