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
