Prince
Witness 4 the Prosecution (Version 1)
[Intro Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I am a witness
(Witness)
I am a witness 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 of a hate in this love affair
(Witness for the prosecution)
Yes I am

[Chorus]
Don't you know I am, I am a witness, witness
(Witness for the prosecution)
Witness for the prosecution
Witness for the prosecution
I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair, yeah
[Verse 2]
I who am guilty of nothing but always wantin' 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

[Outro]
I am a witness for the prosecution of a hate in this love affair, yes I am
(Witness for the prosecution)
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 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, seven years hard labor, take him away!
