Oh, listen everybody, especially you boys
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
Well, I love too hard, but my friends sometimes say
That I believe, I believe that a man should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see him treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell him it's not 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?
You've been tossin' in my sleep
Was I ever seen within the week?
Oh, you boys agree that this ain't the way
Love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say it
Up early in the morning with him on my mind
Oh, just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
But I believe that a woman, a man best befriend
And I'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end
But he caused so much misery that I forget how love's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell him it's not fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Oh, everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad, but half a love is twice as bad
Now all you boys agree that this ain't the way
Love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say it
Oh, I want a witness
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Can I get a witness?
Can I get, can I get a witness?
I want a witness
I want a witness
Everybody
Got to get a witness
