EbListen everybody, especially you girls..is it right
to be left alone while the one you love is never home?
I Ablove too hard, all my friends, sometimes say.
But I Ebbelieve, I believe that a woman should be loved
that way.
But it Bbhurts me so inside, to Absee her treat me so unkind.
SomeEbbody, somewhere, tell her it's unfair.

EbCan I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
EbCan I get a witness?..(Can I get a witness?)
Somebody?..(Can I get a witness?)
