Lyrics

We can't take for granted, baby
The little things that keep the love strong
And I know that I've been short on attention lately
But that doesn't mean that the thrill is gone
It just means I've got to tighten up
Put back the meaning to "I love you"
Certain words I've never said enough
But all this comes out in simple "Sure you do"
But baby sometimes stroking is the only way
Got to keep it stroking 24 hours a day
I know that I hold the key to get her
Keep her head above water
Especially when the tide is high
And it seems like there's no getting over
Sometimes I barely can make it by
That's when I know that I've got to keep my grip
On life and hold a little tighter
Though it seems like I'm on a sinking ship
You'll never see me going under
I'll keep on stroking and never give it up
Got to keep stroking even though conditions are rough
Keep on stroking
Stroking is the only way
Stroking 24 hours a day
Sometimes you can't go from broke
Got to back off and rely on the scope
Depends on what you focus on
'Cause I can't choose for you
But the bottom line is
When it's time to get the job done
You find yourself stroking one
You've got to be stroking either way it goes
There's gonna be stroking if you wanna keep it under control
Keep it right there in the groove
Keep on stroking 'cause I'm in the mood
Baby sometimes stroking is the only way
I got to keep on stroking 24 hours a day
