Oh, listen everybody
(Everybody)
Especially you guys
(Especially you guys)
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe 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 unfair
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Somebody
(Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everythin' you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say, "Yeah" [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/diana_ross/can_i_get_a_witness.html ]
Up early in the morning
(Can I get a witness?)
With him on my mind
(Can I get a witness?)
A just to find out all night
(Can I get a witness?)
That I've been cryin'
(Can I get a witness?)
But I believe a man's a woman's best friend
So I'm gonna stick by him, yeah, till the very end
But he causes so much misery, I forget how love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Witness, witness
Everybody knows, especially you girls
Our love can be sad but I have a love that's twice as bad
Now you girls who agree that this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say, "Yeah"
I want a witness
(Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness
(Can I get a witness, witness?)
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness, witness?)
I want a witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
