Can I Get A Witness

(album: Reflections - 2006)

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 ya all treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it ain't fair

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?)

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossing 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
Lemme hear, lemme hear you say, "Yeah, hey"

Up early in the morning
With her on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been crying

'Cause I believe a woman is a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick by her right here, right now
Till the very end

But she caused me so much misery
That I forget how love's supposed to be
Lemme hear, lemme hear you say, "Hey, hey"

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)

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"

(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
Somebody, in the morning
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, 'round about noon

(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I want a witness in the evening
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, in the midnight hour
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, I need somebody to hold me

(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, need someone to squeeze me
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, need someone to tease me
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness

(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
I need a witness, truth's witness
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
Kiss my face, I need you
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
All over the place

I just need somebody to hold me tight
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
On the cold, cold, cold and windy night
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)

I need you, I need a witness
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)
Early in the morning, satisfied
(I want a witness, can I get a witness?)

I just want somebody to hold me tight
I need somebody to squeeze at night
I had a little girl when I was, you know

When time's to come and who's to be
I remember I am, girl set me free
She makes me move like I never did
She give me everything I want then

I want a witness, I need a witness
Somebody, somebody

So baby, I gotta move
I gotta move, I wanna move
I need a witness, I gotta move
I need a witness

I need it, I need
I need a witness, I gotta move
I need a witness

Somebody, I gotta move
Somebody, I gotta move

I need a witness
I need somebody
Oh, somebody
