I Wanna Testify

We met each other

Introduced by her brother

A cat I'd known all my life

Partying and dancing

Moonlight and romancing

Soon to be husband and wife

My friends call me crazy

Her folks call her lazy

But our love counts for life

If we stuck together

The pressures we would weather

Not knowing we were in for a fall

Women and drinking, loving and thinking

They do it to you everytime

Women and drinking, loving and thinking

They do it to you everytime

Find yourself going down down down down

I'm going down down

I'm going down down down down down down

Ow - I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

We had a boy, my pride and joy

I took a job day and night

Tired and wired, one day I got fired

That's when we started to fight

With time on his hands, a man ain't a man

And all he loves he starts to neglect

I didn't go far, straight to the bar

And drank up all my self respect

Women and drinking, loving and thinking

They do it to you everytime

Women and drinking, loving and thinking

They do it to you everytime

Find yourself going down down down down

I'm going down down

I'm going down down down down down down

Ow, I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

Yeah, let me get on back to my story now

Yeah, cared about no one

But my wife and my son

That's when I started to roam

Bar room to bedroom

It happened so soon

I found myself on my own

She went back to her mother

I fought with her brother, yeah

And in my heart I know I was wrong

Please pay attention to the words that I mention, yeah

And listen to the moral of the song

I just wanna testify
