(Holland/Holland/Dozier)

Ah ah listen to everybody (body)
Especially you girls (girl)
It's not right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home
I loved to hard my friends sometime say
But I believe, I believe
That a woman should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside
To see you treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it ain't fair

Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Somebody (can I get a witness)

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had
If I talks in my sleep
'Cuz I haven't seen my baby all week

Now you chicks you all agree
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say, ";yeah yeah";

Up early in the morning
Well they're all in my mind
Just to find her out all night
Well I've been crying

But I believe
A women's a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick by her
'Till the very end

Well she caused me so much misery
I forget how it's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere
Tell her it ain't fair

Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness (can i get a witness)

Everybody knows, especially you girls
That a love can be sad
But half a loves is twice as bad

Now you chicks you all agree
That ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear ya
Let me hear you say ";yeah yeah";

I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Yeah I want a witness (I want a witness)
Somebody (can I get a witness)

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had
If I talk, in my sleep
'Cuz i haven't seen my baby all week

Yeah she caused me so much misery
That ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear
Let me hear you say ";yeah yeah";

I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want be (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness
I want a witness
