(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



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
