The Funk Brothers - Can I Get a Witness? lyrics

[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 [?] [?]
