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've been crying
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick by her untill 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
