Ah ah listen everybody, specially you 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

I want a witness

Somebody

I want 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 been cryin'

But I believe a woman's a man's best friend

I'm gonna stick by hr till 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

I want a witness

Somebody

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

I want a witness

Yeah, I want a witness

Somebody

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...
