Devil’s Advocate

Lyrics by：Charlie Bereal/Christopher Joseph Gallant III/Jeff Gitty/Terrace Martin

Arranged by：Terrace Martin

I know they say I'm in over my head

That I'm too insecure to have you waking up in my bed

Suffered in the past but they don't know the half of it

Might have been a few shipwrecks before

But now I'm standing 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 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

They say I'm cold say I'm too cavalier

Sabotaging my character at times

Acting a fool out of fear

Fool out of fear

They drive the bus

Now they're throwing me under it

Wouldn't last a day in my shoes

Falsely accused 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 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 waking up in my bed
