Giving You The Benefit (Extended Club Version)

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 home girl

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

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)

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

Well, I'll be givin' you the benefit

Of the doubt

Givin' you a minute to
