Eb
Listen everybody, especially you girls..is it right
to be left alone while the one you love is never home?
Ab
I love too hard, all my friends, sometimes say.
Eb
But I believe, I believe that a woman should be loved
that way.
Bb Ab
But it hurts me so inside, to see her treat me so unkind.
Eb
Somebody, somewhere, tell her it's unfair.
CHORUS:
Eb
Can I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
Eb
Can I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
Somebody?..(Can I get a witness?)

my baby all week.

love's supposed to be.

Up early in the morning with her on my mind.
Eb
Cause I find out, all night, that I've been cryin'.
Ab

Bb Ab
But she causes so much misery that, I forget how
love is supposed to be.
Eb
Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair!
CHORUS:
Eb

(Can I get a witness?)
