Stroke Your Ego

Usher · Other Songs - Usher

It's cool, you got a job and everything

But you know it ain't the money that made me look

Let's just keep it real babe

I could give a damn about the way you cook

You need a little motivation baby

Lemme pour a little liquid courage Off in your cup

Ain't lookin' for nothing too serious

Can you put it down, everytime you give it up



Cause you're so focused on your fashion

And everything you own

Yeah, you're independent but you're spending nights alone

I can satisfy ya, ecstasy and fire

So let's assume I'm takin' you home

And then I'll...



Stroke your ego

Seems like that's what you need

Stroke your ego

I'll give you pleasure indeed

Stroke your ego

I'll make you feelin' like never before

Got what you want, and what you need

Leave it to me

And I'll stroke you all night long



Acting like a diva babe

It might be cute, but it ain't gonna get you much

I'll sink my ship in your ocean baby

never mind the lotion let's touch



Cause you're so focused on that fashion

And diamonds and flashy things



You say you're independent, but really what does that mean

I can satisfy ya, I'll ignite your fire

But only if you're coming with me

Then Ima...



Stroke your ego

Seems like that's what you need

Stroke your ego

I'll give you pleasure indeed

Stroke your ego

I'll make you feelin' like never before

Got what you want, and what you need

Leave it to me

And I'll stroke you all night long



You're self sufficient baby, you need attention girl

I see it's something you crave, crave

And I just won't have it, now put away that rabbit

Cause I can do it better than anyone

So let me...



Stroke your ego

Seems like that's what you need

Stroke your ego

I'll give you pleasure indeed

Stroke your ego

I'll make you feelin' like never before

Got what you want, and what you need

Leave it to me

And I'll stroke you all night long
