Giving You The Benefit Lyrics - Babyface

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

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

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 

Tryin' to understand you right boy

Well there's really no need to fuss and fight, no
