"Witness" lyrics

"Witness"

I'm not the bee's knees, I'm not the seventh son
I'm not the Hoodoo man, I'm not the chosen one
I'm not the muddy water, sure nuff not the big fish
I'm just a witness

I'm not the egg head, I'm not the Einstein
I'm not the quickest bunny, I'm not the mastermind
I'm not nobody's fool, sure nuff not the genius
I'm just a witness

Witness, nothin' here to see
None of that was me

I'm not the Joe Blow, I'm not the peepin' Tom
I'm not the sorry Charlie, I'm not the honest John
I'm not the no way José, no hablo inglés
I'm just a witness

I'm not the rusty nail, I'm not the Manhattan
I'm not the dark and stormy, I'm not the old fashioned
I'm not the come to Jesus, sure nuff not the sloe gin fizz
I'm just a witness

Witness, nothin' here to see
Witness, none of my business
None of that was me

I'm not the dandy, I'm not the rounder
I'm not the salty dog, I'm not the scoundrel
I'm not the mojo workin', I'm not the cream dream
I'm not the Casanova, I'm not the lovin' machine
I'm not the alimony, sure nuff not the hot mess
I'm just a witness

Witness
Witness, nothin' here to see
Witness, none of my business
None of that was me
