Dusty Springfield - Can I Get A Witness Lyrics
(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)Ah, listen everybodyEspecially you guysIs it right to be left aloneWhen the one you love is never home?I love too hardYeah, my friends sometimes sayBut I believe, oh I believeThat a boy should be loved that wayBut it hurts me so insideSee him treat me so unkindA-somebody, a-somewhereTell him it aint fairCan I get a witness?Can I get a witness?Can I get a witness?Somebody?Is it right to be treated so bad?When youve given everything you hadKeep on tossing in my sleepcause I havent seen my baby all weekNow, you people you do agreeThat this aint the way loves supposed to beA-let me hear youLet me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahUp early in the morningWith him on my mindJust to find out all nightThat Ive been cryingBut I believe, oh, that a boy is a girls best friendSo, Im gonna stick by him til the very endBut he caused so much miseryI forget how loves supposed to beSomebody, somewhere tell himIt aint fairCan I get a witness?Can I get a witness?I want a witnessWitness, witness, witness, witnessEverybody knows, especially you boysThat a love can be sadBut half a love is twice as badNow you people you do agreeThat this aint the way loves supposed to beLet me hear youLet me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeahI want a witnessCan I get a witness?I want a witnessCome on, witnessI want a witness, heyCome on, witnessI want a witness
