Stroke You Up
R. Kelly · Other Songs - R. Kelly
Tonight is your night, come here
Let's get this shirt off
Now tell me what you like
'Cause I make it everything you want
Now come closer, uh uh closer
Don't be scared, touch me, right there
Oh yeah, uhh, you go boy
You asked for me
So whatcha wanna see me for
I wanna show you something
Oh yeah and what's that
Turn the lights down half way
Huh, hey yo that's cool
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
(I don't mind)
All through the night
(I don't mind)
Until your body's tired
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
(I don't mind)
All through the night
(I don't mind)
Makin' you feel so right
(I don't mind)
C'mon in and close the door
I've got what you're looking for
Dim the lights, unplug the phone
And turn the radio on
I've got what you need
Just put your trust in me
And I won't let you down
So give me your love right now
Give it up
(That's what I wanna do)
Keep it comin'
(Don't stop)
I've got a question for you
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
(I don't mind)
All through the night
(I don't mind)
Until your body's tired
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
(I don't mind)
All through the night
(I don't mind)
Makin' you feel so right
(I don't mind)
I know the things to do
To make you feel alright
Giving you all of me
And keepin' you satisfied
Boy there's no mystery
You know how I feel right now
I want to lift you up
And make your love come down
Give it up
(That's what I wanna do)
Keep it comin'
(Don't stop)
I've got a question for you
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
(I don't mind)
All through the night
(I don't mind)
Until your body's tired
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you up
(I don't mind)
Do you mind if I stroke you down
