I Wanna Testify Songtext / Lyric

We met each other introduced by her brother

A cat I'd known all my life

Parties and dancing, moonlight and romancing

Soon to be husband and wife

My friends call me crazy, her folks call her lazy

But our love counts for life

If we stuck together the pressures we would weather

Not knowing we were in for a fall



Women and drinking Loving and thinking

They do it to you every time

Women and drinking Loving and thinking

They do it to you every time



Find yourself going down down down down

I'm going down down

I'm going down down down down down down down



Ow, I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me






We had a boy

My pride and joy

I took a job day and night

Tired and wired

One day I got fired

That's when we started to fight



With time on his hands

A man ain't a man

And all he loves he starts to neglect

I didn't go far

Straight to the bar

And drank up all my self respect



Women and drinking Loving and thinking

They do it to you every time

Women and drinking Loving and thinking

They do it to you every time



Find yourself going down down down down

I'm going down down

I'm going down down down down down down down



Ow, I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me

I just wanna testify

What the women don't owe to me



Yeah, let me get on back to my story now



Yeah, about no-one

But my wife and my son

That's when I started to roam

Bar room to them

It happened so soon

I found myself on my own



She went back to her mother

I fought with her brother, yeah

And in my heart I know I was wrong

Please pay attention to the words that I mention, yeah

And listen to the moral of the song



I just I just wanna testify
