Can I Get A Witness Lyrics

    (b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)

    Ah, listen everybody
    Especially you guys
    Is it right to be left alone
    When the one you love is never home?
    I love too hard
    Yeah, my friends sometimes say
    But i believe, oh i believe
    That a boy should be loved that way
    But it hurts me so inside
    See him treat me so unkind
    A-somebody, a-somewhere
    Tell him it ain't fair

    Can i get a witness?
    Can i get a witness?
    Can i get a witness?
    Somebody?

    Is it right to be treated so bad?
    When you've given everything you had
    Keep on tossing in my sleep
    'cause i haven't seen my baby all week
    Now, you people you do agree
    That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
    A-let me hear you
    Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Up early in the morning
    With him on my mind
    Just to find out all night
    That i've been crying
    But i believe, oh, that a boy is a girl's best friend
    So, i'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end
    But he caused so much misery
    I forget how love's supposed to be
    Somebody, somewhere tell him
    It ain't fair

    Can i get a witness?
    Can i get a witness?
    I want a witness
    Witness, witness, witness, witness

    Everybody knows, especially you boys
    That a love can be sad
    But half a love is twice as bad
    Now you people you do agree
    That this ain't the way love'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
    Come on, witness
    I want a witness, hey
    Come on, witness
    I want a witness
