When I start making love

I don't just make love

I be strokin'

That's what I be doing, 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 doing, I be stroking"

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 planning on making 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 sex-ified

And I can always tell when she gets sex-ified

Because when she gets sex-ifiedshe 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'

I be strokin'
