Babyface - Giving You The Benefit lyrics

Written by l.a. reid, babyface (1990) Performed by pebbles Lately, i've been trying to figure out your mind And why you keep dissin' me Poor little me And why you have a change of heart And turn it all around And then try to put it on me Poor little me But don't you know I could be a trip I could make things hard But baby i believe that you still got a heart That's why i Try to stop myself before i start 'cause i could make it tough I could make it rough But i won't Well i'll be givin' you the benefit Of the doubt Givin' you a minute to Try to work it on out I'll be givin' you the benefit Of the doubt And i'm givin' you a minute to Try to work it on out Baby, work it on, work it on out Work, work, work Baby, work it on, work it on out Work, work, work Baby how could you be hangin' out on the town And claim that you missin' me Poor little me When you knew all the time That you could've been with your homegirl Lovin' and a kissin' on me Sweet little me But don't you know If you wanna be a man You gotta work real hard If you wanna make me feel i'm like your number one and Nothin' in the world should make us part Cause we can make it work If you take away the hurt From the heart Hook Baby, work it on, work it on out Work, work, work Work it baby Work, work, work Try to work it on, work it on, work it on, work it on out Work, work, work Work it baby Work, work, work Keep tryin' to work it on out I could be a trip But i choose not to Deep inside of you I think there's still good in you boy Don't give me no reason not to trust you Just take the benefit Don't give me no lip And i'll be sweet to you Hook I'll be givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Of the doubt Givin' you a minute to (givin' it to you) Try to work it on out I'll be givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Of the doubt Givin' you a minute to (givin' it to you) Try to work it on out (i'll be givin' it to you) Boy i want to give it Givin' you the benefit (givin' it to you) Ooh i want to give it Givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Boy i want to give it Givin' you the benefit (givin' it to you) Ooh i want to give it Givin' you the benefit I'll be givin' you a minute or two To try and work it out I wanna work it baby I'll be givin' you a minute or two To try and work it out But don't you take too long baby Hook I'll be givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Of the doubt Givin' you a minute to (givin' it to you) Try to work it on out I'll be givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Of the doubt Givin' you a minute to (givin' it to you) Try to work it on out (i'll be givin it to you) Boy i want to give it Givin' you the benefit (givin it to you) Ooh i want to give it Givin' you the benefit (i'll be givin' it to you) Boy i
