I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair
I who am guilty of nothin' but always wantin' you to be there
Mama, I swear I love you, I always have
In school I once traded chairs
If I couldn't feel you
I wanted what was yours
Now I just want you to care

I am a witness (witness)

I'm a witness (witness for the prosecution)
For the prosecution of a hate in this love affair
Whatever it is, you think that I did
You're wrong, I wouldn't even dare
'Cause you know I am a witness
For the prosecution in this love affair (witness for the prosecution)
Don't you know I, I am a witness, witness (witness for the prosecution)

(Witness for the prosecution)

I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair, yeah
I who am guilty of nothin' but always wantin' you to be there, be there
Oh, I swear, by heaven I love you
I always have
In school I once traded chairs
If I couldn't be near you
I wanted what was yours
Now I just want you to care

I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair, yeah
(Witness for the prosecution) yes, I am
Let me tell you whatever it is, you think that I did
You're wrong, I wouldn't even dare
(Witness for the prosecution)

Guilt, seven years hard labor, take him away
