Brian Holland & Eddie Holland & Lamont Dozier & Holland-Dozier-HollandCan I Get a Witness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ah ah listen everybody (Body)
Especially you girls (Girls)
It is not right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home
I love too hard my friends sometime say
But I believe, I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it is not fair
[Verse 2]
Can I get a witness? (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
Somebody (Can I get a witness?)
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had?
If I talks in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you chicks you all agree
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Up early in the morning, well they're all in my mind
Just to find her out all night, well I've been crying
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
I'm going to stick by her until the very end
Well she caused me so much misery
I forget how it's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
[Verse 4]
Can I get a witness? (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
Witness, witness (Can I get a witness?)
Witness, witness (Can i get a witness?)
Everybody knows, especially you girls
That a love can be sad but half a loves is twice as bad
Now you chicks do all agree
That ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
Yeah I want a witness (I want a witness)
Somebody (Can I get a witness?)
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had?
If I talk in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Yeah she caused me so much misery
That the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
I want be (Can I get a witness?)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness?)
Witness, witness
I want a witness
