D            G                                   D        G
I be strokin', That's what I be doin', huh, I be strokin'!

[Chorus]
  D                            G
I stroke it to the east, and I stroke it to the west
      D                           G                   
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best

I be strokin'

[Verse]
D              G
Let me ask you somethin'
D                    G
What time of the day do you like to make love?
 D                    G
Have you ever made love just before breakfast?
D                    G
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show?
D                    G
Well, let me ask you this
D                    G
Have you ever made love on a couch?
D                    G
Well, let me ask you this
D                    G
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car?
D                     G
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
D                       G
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
     D       G                             D         G
'I'm strokin', that's what I'm doin', I be strokin!"

[Chorus]
  D                            G
I stroke it to the east, and I stroke it to the west
      D                           G                   
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
     D        C G  D   C G
I be strokin'

[Verse]
D              G
Let me ask you something
D                    G
How long has it been since you made love, huh?
D                 G
Did you make love yesterday?
D              G
Did you make love last week?
D              G
Did you make love last year?
D              G
Or maybe it might be that you plannin' on makin' love tonight
D              G
But just remember, when you start making love
D              G
You make it hard, long, soft, short, and be strokin'
D              G
I be strokin'

[Chorus]
  D                            G
I stroke it to the east, and I stroke it to the west
      D                           G                   
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
     D        C G  D   C G
I be strokin'

[Verse]
D                  G
Now, when I start making love to my woman
D                  G
I don't stop until I know she's sassified
D                  G
And I can always tell when she gets sassified
D                  G
because when she gets sassified she start calling my name
D                  G
She'd say: 'Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
D                  G
Clarence Carter, ooh shit, Clarence Carter'
D                  G
The other night I was strokin' my woman
D                  G
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me
D                  G
Let me tell you what she told me, she said:
D                  G
'Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don't stroke so fast
D                  G
If my stuff ain't tight enough, you can stick it up my' woo!
D            G                     D            G
I be strokin' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I be strokin'

[Chorus]
  D                            G
I stroke it to the east, and I stroke it to the west
      D                           G                   
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
     D        C G  D   C G
I be strokin'

[Post-Chorus]
D                  G
I be strokin' I be strokin' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
D                         G
I be strokin', Yeah! I be strokin'

[Outro]
D                           G
I stroke it to the north, I stroke it to the south
  D                            G
I stroke it everywhere, I even stroke it with my, woo!
     D              G              D
