Lately, Ive 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 dont you know
I could be a trip
I could make things hard
But baby I believe that you still got a heart
Thats why i
Try to stop myself before I start
cause I could make it tough
I could make it rough
But I wont
Well Ill be givin you the benefit
Of the doubt
Givin you a minute to
Try to work it on out
Ill be givin you the benefit
Of the doubt
And Im 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 couldve been with your homegirl
Lovin and a kissin on me
Sweet little me
But dont you know
If you wanna be a man
You gotta work real hard
If you wanna make me feel Im 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

I could be a trip
But I choose not to
Deep inside of you
I think theres still good in you boy
Dont give me no reason not to trust you
Just take the benefit
Dont give me no lip

Tryin to understand you right boy
So you need some time to work it out, work it
Well theres really no need to fuss and fight, no
All I want is for you to try and work it out
