Everybody, especially you guys, can't survive to be left alone when the one you love is never home
I'd love to hurt, yeah, my friends, but I'm not safe
But I believe, oh, I believe, that a boy should be done that way
But it hurts so inside, see him treat me so unkind
Somebody, 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 my thoughts sitting in my sleep, cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you people do agree, that this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning, with him on my mind
Just to find out, oh my, that I've been crying
But I believe, oh, that a boy is a good best friend
So I'm gonna stick by him, till the very end
But he caused so much misery, I forget
How I'm not supposed to be somebody
Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair
Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness?
I want a witness, a witness, witness, witness, witness
Everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad, but half a love is worth that bad
Now you people do agree, that this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness, can I get a witness? I want a witness, come on witness
I want a witness, I want a witness
