 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 homegirl
 
 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

 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
 
 
 
 Hook

 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
 
 
 
 Tryin' to understand you right boy
 
 So you need some time to work it out, work it
 
 Well there's really no need to fuss and fight, no
 
 All I want is for you to try and work it out
 
 
 
 Lately, I've been trying to figure out your mind
