Listen everybody, especially you girls
|
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
|
That a woman should be loved that way
|
But it hurts me so inside
|
To see her treat me so unkind
|
Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair
|
|
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?
|
Even tossin' in my sleep
|
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
|
Now, you chicks do agree
|
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
|
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
|
|
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
|
Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
|
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
|
So I'm gonna stick by her till the very end
|
But she causes so much misery I forget how
|
Love is supposed to be
|
Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair
|
|
Can I get a witness?
|
I want a witness
|
Witness, witness
|
Witness, witness
|
|
Everybody knows, especially you girls
|
Love can be sad
|
But I have a love that's twice as bad
|
Now all you chicks agree
|
That this ain't the way its's supposed to be
|
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
|
|
I want a witness
|
I want a witness
|
I want a witness
|
I want a witness...
