Can
I Get A Witness
Lyrics
and Music: Ernie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland
Listen
everybody [everbody], especially you girls [you girls].
Do
you like to be left alone by the one you love, never phone?
I
love too hard [yeah, yeah], my friends sometimes say [yeah, yeah].
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...
I
tell her it ain’t fair.
Can
I get a witness? [can I get a witness]
Can
I get a witness? [can I get a witness]
I
want a witness. [can I get a witness]
Everybody...
[can I get a witness]
I
want a witness. [can I get a witness]
Witness,
witness. [can I get a witness]
Somebody...
[can I get a witness]
Somewhere...
[can I get a witness]
Now,
all you chicks, agree, say this ain’t the way love’s supposed to be.
Let
me hear you...
Let
me hear you say “Yeah, yeah!”.
I
want a witness. [can I get a witness]
Get
a witness. [can I get a witness]
I
feel alright. [can I get a witness]
One
more time. [can I get a witness]
Just
one more time. [can I get a witness]
A
little bit louder, baby! [can I get a witness]
A
little bit louder! [can I get a witness]
Everybody...
[can I get a witness]
But
it hurts me so inside to see her treat me so unkind.
Somebody,
somewhere...
Tell
it ain’t fair.
Up early in the morning [can I get a witness]
With
it on my mind. [can I get a witness]
Just to find [can I get a witness]
Out
all night that I've been cryin'. [can I get a witness]
Cause you can [can I get a witness]
See
to her trick as your loving brought misery. [can I get a witness]
Love
can be sad. [can I get a witness]
I
have a love that’s twice as bad. [can I get a witness]
But
it hurts me so inside to see her treat me so unkind.
Somebody,
somewhere...
I
tell her it ain't fair.
Can
I get a witness? [can I get a witness]
I
want a witness. [can I get a witness]
Everybody...
[can I get a witness]
I
feel alright. [can I get a witness]
One
more time. [can I get a witness]
One
more time. [can I get a witness]
One
more time, baby. [can I get a witness]
Everybody...
[can I get a witness]
Now
all you chicks agree.
I
said this ain't the way love's supposed to be.
Let
me hear you!
Let
me hear you say "Yeah, yeah!" to me...
Yeah...
