Listen everybody, especially you guys

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

A man should 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

I want a witness



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 girls 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 him on my mind

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

But I believe a man's a woman's best friend

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

But he causes so much misery I forget how

Love is supposed to be

Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair



Can I get a witness?

I want a witness



Everybody knows, especially you girls

Love can be bad

But I have a love that's twice as bad

Now you girls do agree

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

Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah



Can I get a witness
