Can I Get A Witness

(album: The Rolling Stones - 1964)

Ah ah listen everybody (body)
Especially you girls (girl)
It's not right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home

I loved too 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's not 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
'Cause 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
Until 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 you
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
'Cause 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
