CAN I GET A WITNESS
by: Ann NesbyCan I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Help me somebody
Come on help me out
If you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Just tell the truth
And don't you tell no lie
And there'll be no need for an alibi
'Cause when you're tellin' lies
To make your wrongs all right
It tears you up inside
If you got a heart
So set your mind at ease
The truth will set you free
Just testify with me
Come on help me out
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Guilty of somethin' and I must confess
Lost everything but my happiness
My house is empty
But my life's on full
Release the pressure
That's my golden rule
Think about it
Think about it
Because you see it
You want it
You chase it
You get it
You live it
You love it
You hate it
You lose it
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Help me
