Can I Get a WitnessThe Rolling Stones

Songwriter: Brian Holland Eddie Holland Lamont Dozier

Producer: Andrew Loog Oldham Eric Easton

[Intro]
Ah ah listen to everybody (body)
Especially you girls (girl)

[Verse 1]
It is 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 is not fair

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
If I talks in my sleep
Because I have not seen my baby all week
Now you chicks you all agree
This is no the way it is supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning
Well they are all in my mind
Just to find her out all night
Well I have been crying
But I believe
A women is a man's best friend
I am going to stick by her
Until the very end
Well she caused me so much misery
I forget how it is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere
Tell her it is no fair

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 3]
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 is not the way love is supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
If I talk, in my sleep
Because I haven't seen my baby all week
Yeah she caused me so much misery
That is not the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah

[Outro]
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

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
