I know they say I'm in over my head
That I'm too insecure to have you wakin' up in my bed
Suffered in the past, but they don't know the half of it
Might've been a few shipwrecks before
But now I'm standin' right here on the shore
And I need you to give me
A little benefit of the doubt (The doubt, the doubt, the doubt)
I need you to give me, babe
A little benefit of the doubt (The doubt, the doubt, the doubt)
Even in the face of what they say
Will you play devil's advocate?
Even in the face of what they say
Will you play devil's advocate?
(Second verse)
They say I'm cold, say I'm too cavalier
Sabotagin' my character at times
Actin' a fool out of fear (Fool out of fear)
They drive the bus, now they're throwin' me under it
Wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Falsely accused, locked in a cell with no proof
But I need you to give me
A little benefit of the doubt (The doubt, the doubt, the doubt)
I need you to give me
A little benefit of the doubt (The doubt, the doubt, the doubt)
Even in the face of what they say
Will you play devil's advocate for me?
Even in the face of what they say
Will you play devil's advocate?
(What's in your head? What's in your head?)
I know they say I'm in over my head
That I'm too insecure to have you wakin' up in my bed
