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
  
  Can I get a witness?
  Can I get a witness?
  Can I get a witness?
  Somebody
  
  Is it right to be treated so bad
  When you've given everything you had?
  Even tossin' in my sleep
  'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
  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
  
  Up early in the morning with her on my mind
  Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
  But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
  So I'm gonna stick by her till 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
  
  Can I get a witness?
  I want a witness
  Witness, witness
  Witness, witness
  
  Everybody knows, especially you girls
  Love can be sad
  But I have a love that's twice as bad
  Now all you chicks agree
  That this ain't the way its's supposed to be
  Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
  
  I want a witness
  I want a witness
  I want a witness
  I want a witness
