Devil’s Advocate Gallant

[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?)
