Giving You The Benefit - Pebbles

Lately I’ve been trying to figure out your mind

And why you’re dissin' me

Poor little me

And why you have a change of heart

Turn it all around

And then try to put it on me

Poor little me

Don’t ya know

I can be a trip

I can make things hard

But baby I believe that you’ve still got a heart that’s why

I try to stop myself before I start

Cause I can make it tough

I can make it rough

But I won’t

And I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

Giving you a minute to try to work it all out

And I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’ll be giving you a minute to try to work it all out

Baby work it on work it on out

Baby work it on work it on out

Oo-ooohh

Baby how could you be hangin' out on the town

And claim that you’re missin me

Poor little me

When you knew all the time that you could have been

With your home girl

Lovin' and a kissin' on me

Sweet little me

Don’t you know if you wanna be a man

You gotta work real hard

If you wanna make me feel like I’m your number one then

Nothin in the world should make us part

Cause we can make it work

If you take away the hurt from the heart

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’m giving you a minute to try to work it all out

And I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’ll be giving you a minute to try to work it all out

Baby work it on work it on out

Work it baby

(Work, work, work)

Keep tryin' to work it on out

I can be a trip but I choose not to

Deep inside of you I think there’s still good in you boy

Don’t gimme no reason not to trust you

Just take the benefit

Don’t gimme no lip

And I’ll be sweet to you

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’m giving you a minute to

Try to work it on out

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’m giving you a minute to

Try to work it on out

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

(I'll be giving it to you)

And I’m giving you a minute to

Try to work it on out

I’ll be giving you a minute or two

To try to work it out

(I want to work it baby)

I’ll be giving you a minute or two

To try to work it out

(But don’t you take too long baby)

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’m giving you a minute to try to work it all out

And I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

And I’m giving you a minute to try to work it all out

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

Giving you a minute to try to work it all out

I’ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt

Giving you a minute to try to work it all out
