When I start makin' love, I don't just make love
I be strokin', that's what I be doin', huh
I be strokin'

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 strokin'

Let me ask you somethin'
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
"I'm strokin', that's what I'm doin', I be strokin'”

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 strokin'

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 plannin' on makin' love tonight
But just remember, when you start making love
You make it hard, long, soft, short and be strokin'
I be strokin'

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 strokin'

Now when I start making love to my woman
I don't stop until I know she's sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified
'Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name
She'd say, ‽Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
Clarence Carter, ooh shit, Clarence Carter”

The other night I was strokin' 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
‽Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don't stroke so fast
If my stuff ain't tight enough, you can stick it up my woo”

I be strokin' ha, ha, ha, ha
I be strokin'

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 strokin'

I be strokin' ha, ha, ha, ha
I be strokin', yeah
I be strokin'

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 strokin', I be strokin' ha, ha
I be strokin'
