The Temptations — Can I Get a Witness

[Verse 1] Listen everybody, especially you girls Is it right to be left alone When the one you love is never home? And 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 y'all treat me so unkind Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair [Chorus] Can I get a witness? (Can I get a witness?) Can I get a witness? (Can I get a witness?) Somebody, somebody (Can I get a witness?) [Post-Chorus] 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 Then emme hear, lemme hear you say, "Yeah, hey" [Verse 2] Up early in the mornin' With her on my mind Just to find out all night that I've been cryin' 'Cause I believe (I believe) a woman is a man's best friend I'm gonna stick by her right here, right now 'Til the very end But she caused me so much misery That I forget how love's supposed to be Lemme hear you, lemme hear you say, "Hey, hey" [Chorus] I want a witness (I want a witness) Can I get a witness? (Witness, witness) I want a witness (I want a witness) Can I get a witness? (Witness, witness) [Post-Chorus] Everybody knows, especially you girls That love can be sad But I have a love that's twice as bad All you chicks agree That this ain't the way love's supposed to be Lemme hear you, lemme hear you say, "Yeah, hey" [Outro] (I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
