[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody

[Verse 2]
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossing in my sleep
Because I haven't seen my baby all week

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been crying
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
So I'm going to stick by her until 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

[Chorus 1]
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody

[Bridge]
Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be sad
But I have a love that's twice as bad

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
