Can I Get A Witness

Lyrics for Can I Get A Witness

(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
