Lately Ií‚´ve been trying to figure out your mind
And why condition 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
Doní‚´t ya know I can make ya trip I can make things hard
But baby I believe that youí‚´ve still got a heart thatí‚´s why
I try to stop myself before I start í‚´cause I can make it tough
I can make it rough but woní‚´t
[Chorus]
And Ií‚´ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt
Giving you a minute to try to work it all out
And Ií‚´ll be giving you the benefit of the doubt
And Ií‚´ll be giving you a minute to try to work it all out
Baby work it all work it all out
(work, work, work)
Baby work it all work it all out
(work, work, work) oh
Baby how could you be hanginí‚´ out on a diamond queen
Ainí‚´t you missiní‚´ me poor little me
When you knew all the time that you could have been
With your home girl loviní‚´ and a
Kissiní‚´ on sweet little me
Doní‚´t you know if you want to be a man you
gotta work real hard
If you want to make me feel like Ií‚´m your number one then
Nothiní‚´ in the world should make us part
í‚´Cause we can make it work if you
Take it with the hurt from the heart
[Chorus]
Baby work it all work it all out
(Work, work, work)
Work it baby (work, work, work)
Keep tryiní‚´ to work it all out
I can make you trip but I choose not to
Inside of you I think thereí‚´s still good in you boy
Doní‚´t gimmie no reason not to trust you
Just take the benefit doní‚´t gimme no lip and Ií‚´ll be sweet to you
(1-2-3-4) Try to understand you right boy So you need some time (time) to
work it out work it work it Thereí‚´s really no need to fuss and fight no
All I want is for you to try and work it out (1-2-3-4)
[Chorus]
(Ií‚´ll be giving) I want to give it
Giving you the benefit
I want to give it giving you the benefit
(Ií‚´ll be giving I want to give it giving you the benefit
I want to give it giving you the benefit
Ií‚´ll be giving you a minute or two to try and work it out
