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...
