Listen everybody,
especially you girls
Is it right to be
left alone
While the one you love
is never home?

Well,
I love too hard
All my friends sometimes say
I believe, I believe
That a woman should be
loved that way

But it hurts me so inside
To see her
treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere
tell her it's unfair
Let me hear you, baby

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)

Is it right to be
treated so bad
When you've given
everything you had?
Even tossing in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen
my baby all week

Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Up early in the morning
With her on my mind
Just to find out
All night, baby,
I've been crying

But I believe,
I believe
That a woman
is a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick
by her until the very end

But she causes
so much misery
I forgot how
it's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere,
tell her it's unfair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what
I'm talking about

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)

Everybody knows,
especially you girls
Love can be so sad
But I have a love
that's twice as bad

Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah, listen
(Yeah, yeah)

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)
