Listen everybody

especially you boys

it is right to be left alone

when the one you love is never home


I love too hard

my friends sometimes say

but I believe I believe

that a man should be loved that way

but it hurts me so inside

to see him treat me so unkind


Somebody somewhere

tell him it's unfair

can I get a witness

can I get a witness

can I get a witness

somebody


Is it right to be trated so bad

when you've given everything you've had

even tossin' in sleep cause I

haven't see my baby all week

now all you boys agree

that this ain't the way love's supposed to be

let me hear you let me hear you say yeah


Up early in the morning with him on my mind

just to find out all night that I've been cryin'

but I believe that a woman's a man's best friend

and I'm gonna stick by him till the very end

'cause he's caused so much misery

that I forget how love's supposed to be


Somebody somewhere

tell him it's unfair

can I get a witness

can I get a witness

can I get a witness

I want a witness

witness witness
