Lately I've been trying to figure out your mind
And why you keep dissing me
Ooh, little me
And why you're having a change of heart
You turn it all around and then try to put it on me
Ooh, little me
But don't you know
I can be a trip, I can 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 can make it tough, I can make it rough
But I won't
Cause I will
Giving you the benefit
Of the doubt
Giving you a limit to
Try to work it on out
Cause I will
Giving you the benefit
Of the doubt
And I'll
Giving 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Baby, how could you be hanging out on the town
And claim that you're missing me
Oh, and me
When you knew all the time that you could've been
With your homegirl lovin' and a-kissin' on me
Sweet little me
Baby, 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 man
Nothing 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'll
Giving you a minute to
Try to work it on out
And I'll
Giving you the benefit
Of the doubt
And I'll
Giving you a minute to
Try to work it on out
Baby, work it on, work it on out
Work, work, work it on out
Work, work, work it on out
Work, work, work it on out

Work it on, work it on, work it on, walk it on out now
Work, work, work, work it on out
Work, work, work, work it on out
Work, work, work, work it on out now
I can be a jerk
But I choose not to
Deep inside of you
I think there's still good in you both
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
I'm gonna take you higher, higher
I'm gonna take you higher, higher
I'm gonna take you higher, higher
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt
And I'm giving you a minute to try to hook it on down
I'll be giving you the benefit of the doubt
And I'm giving you a minute to try to hook it on down
I'll be giving it to you, hold on down
Giving it to you, hold on down
I'll be giving it to you, hold on down
Yeah
When in trouble, I'll be here
I wanna give it to you, I'm givin' you the benefits
I wanna give it to you, I'm givin' you the benefits
I wanna give it to you, I'm givin' you the benefits
I wanna give it to you, I'm givin' you the benefits
I'll be givin' you a minute or two
Try and work it out, I wanna work it, baby
I'll be givin' you a minute or two
Try and work it out, don't you take too long, baby
Givin' you the benefits, oh, lord, no
Givin' you a minute to try to work it all out, right on
I'm givin' you the benefits, oh, lord, no
Givin' you a minute to
Givin' you a minute to try to work it all out, right on
I'll be givin' you the benefits, I'm givin' you the benefits
I wanna give it to you, I'm givin' you the benefits
I'll be givin' you a minute or two
Try and work it out, oh, lord, no
Givin' you the benefits, oh, lord, no
Givin' you the benefits, oh, lord, no
Givin' you the benefits, oh, lord, no
