Lyrics:

When I start makinÂ' love
I donÂ't just make love
I be strokinÂ'
ThatÂ's what I be doinÂ', huh
I be strokinÂ'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokinÂ'

Let me ask you somethinÂ'
What time of the day do you like to make love
Have you ever made love just before breakfast
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on a couch
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
Â'IÂ'm strokinÂ', thatÂ's what IÂ'm doinÂ', I be strokinÂ'Â'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokinÂ'

Let me ask you something
How long has it been since you made love, huh?
Did you make love yesterday
Did you make love last week
Did you make love last year
Or maybe it might be that you planninÂ' on makinÂ' love tonight
But just remember, when you start making love
You make it hard, long, soft, short
And be strokinÂ'
I be strokinÂ'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokinÂ'

Now when I start making love to my woman
I donÂ't stop until I know sheÂ's sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified
Â'Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name
SheÂ'd say: Â'Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence CarterÂ'
The other night I was strokinÂ' my woman
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me
Let me tell you what she told me, she said:
Â'Stroke it Clarence Carter, but donÂ't stroke so fast
If my stuff ainÂ't tight enough, you can stick it up myÂ' woo!

I be strokinÂ' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokinÂ'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokinÂ'
I be strokinÂ' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokinÂ', Yeah!
I be strokinÂ'

I stroke it to the north
I stroke it to the south
I stroke it everywhere
I even stroke it with my, woo!

I be strokinÂ'
I be strokinÂ' Ha! Ha!
I be strokinÂ'
