Devil’s Advocate

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And I need you to give me a little benefit of the doubt I need you to give me, babe, a little benefit of 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But I need you to give me a little benefit of the doubt I need you to give me a little benefit of 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?) [Outro] I know they say I'm in over my head That I'm too insecure to have you waking up in my bed
