Pebbles - Giving You the Benefit [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro:]
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you

Here we go
1, 2, 3, 4

Lately
I've been trying to figure out
Your mind and why you keep dissing me
Poor little me

And why you have a change of heart
To turn it all around
And then try to put it on me
Poor 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

[Chorus:]
Well, I'll be
Giving you the benefit of the doubt
I'm giving you a minute
To try to work it on out

I'll be
Giving you the benefit of the doubt
And I'm 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)

Oooh, oooooooooh

[Verse 2:]
Baby
How could you be
Hanging out on the town
And claim that you're missing me
Poor little me

When you knew all the time that
You could've been with your homegirl
Loving and a kissing 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 like
I'm your number one

Then nothing in the world
Should make us part
Cause we can make it work
If you take away the hurt from my heart

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
(Oh)
I can be a trip, but I choose not to
(Oh, oh)
Deep inside of you
I think there's still good in you, boy

(Oh)
Don't give me no reason not to trust you
(Oh, oh)
Just take the benefit
Don't give me no lip
And I'll be sweet to you

G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you

G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you, giving you
G-G-Giving you

[Repeat Chorus:]
