DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Can I Get a Witness lyrics

(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)

Ahlisten everybody

Especially you guys

Is it right to be left alone

When the one you love is never home?

I love too hard

Yeahmy friends sometimes say

But I believeoh I believe

That a boy should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside

See him treat me so unkind

A-somebodya-somewhere

Tell him it ain't fair

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

Keep on tossing in my sleep

'cause I haven't seen my baby all week

Nowyou people you do agree

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

A-let me hear you

Let me hear you say yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

Up early in the morning

With him on my mind

Just to find out all night

That I've been crying

But I believeohthat a boy is a girl's best friend

SoI'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end

But he caused so much misery

I forget how love's supposed to be

Somebodysomewhere tell him

It ain't fair

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Witnesswitnesswitnesswitness

Everybody knowsespecially you boys

That a love can be sad

But half a love is twice as bad

Now you people you do agree

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

Let me hear you

Let me hear you say yeahyeahyeah

I want a witness

Can I get a witness?

I want a witness

Come onwitness

I want a witnesshey

Come onwitness

I want a witness
