Lyrics
Ah ah listen everybody (body), specially you girls (girls)
Addressing everyone, especially girls, to listen.
Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home
Questioning if it's right to be left alone when your loved one is never home.
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
Expressing a tendency to love intensely, despite friends' comments.
But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
Believing that a woman deserves to be loved intensely.
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Feeling hurt by unkind treatment and seeking intervention.
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Asking someone to tell the person that their behavior is unfair.
Can I get a witness (Can I get a witness)
Expressing a desire for a witness to the unfair treatment.
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 her everything you had
Questioning if it's right to be treated poorly despite giving everything.
Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Admitting to talking in sleep due to missing the absent lover.
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be
Asking for agreement on whether this situation is acceptable.
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Encouraging agreement by asking for affirmation.
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Waking up with thoughts of the beloved.
Took to find it out all night I been cryin'
Expressing the emotional toll of crying all night.
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
Believing in the close bond between a woman and a man.
I'm gonna stick by hr till the very end
Determined to stick by the woman despite challenges.
Well she causes so much misery how's a gal supposed to be
Noting the misery caused by the woman's actions.
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't right
Requesting someone to convey that it's not right.
Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
Repeatedly seeking a witness to the situation.
(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
Reiterating that everyone, especially girls, should understand.
That a love can be sad but my beloved's twice as bad
Highlighting the sadness of love, emphasizing personal experience.
Now you kids do all agree that ain't the way it's supposed to be
Seeking agreement on the unacceptable nature of the situation.
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Encouraging affirmation through the repeated phrase.
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Expressing a persistent desire for a witness.
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
-Yeah, 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 her everything you had
Reiterating the question of whether it's right to be treated poorly despite giving everything.
Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Revealing the impact of missing the beloved through talking in sleep.
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be
Repeating the query about the acceptability of the situation.
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Seeking agreement and affirmation from the audience.
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Persistently expressing the desire for a witness.
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
