I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair
I, who am guilty of nothing but always wantin' to be there
Mama, I swear 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
I am a witness for the prosecution of hate in this love affair. Oh.
Whatever it is you think that I did
You're wrong, I wouldn't even dare
'Cuz you know
I am a witness for the prosecution of hate in this love affair
Yes I am
Don't you know I am
I am a witness, witness

Witness for the prosecution
Witness for the prosecution

I am a witness for the prosecution of hate in this love affair, yeah.
I, who am guilty of nothing but always wantin' you to be there, be there.
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 hate in this love affair
Yes I am.
Let me tell you, whatever it is you think that I did
You're wrong, I wouldn't even dare. No, no, no.
Witness for the prosecution
Witness for the prosecution
Witness, witness, witness, witness, witness, ooh, witness
Witness for the prosecution of hate in this love affair
Witness, witness
Witness for the prosecution
Witness for the prosecution

Guilty, 7 years hard labor, take him away.
