The Stroke Lyrics by Billy Squier

16 Strokes: The Best Of Billy Squier

1981

[Verse 1]
Now, everybody
Have you heard?
If you're in the game
Then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm
Don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin'
Grab your vial, yeah
Woo!

[Verse 2]
Put your right hand out
Give a firm handshake
Talk to me
About that one big break
Spread your ear pollution both far and wide
Keep your contributions by your side and

[Chorus]
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Could be a winner, boy, you move quite well
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
You got your number down
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Say you're a winner, but, man, you're just a sinner now

[Verse 3]
Put your left foot out
Keep it all in place
Work your way
Right into my case
First you try to bed me
You make my backbone slide
But when you find you bled me
Step on by
Keep on

[Chorus]
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Give me the business all night long
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
You're so together, boy
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Say you're a winner, but, man, you're just a sinner now

[Bridge]
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!
Oh!

[Verse 4]
Better listen now
Said it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail you
Just do the stroke
Don't you take no chances
Keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances
You can't stop, you just

[Outro]
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke! Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke! Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke! Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke!
Do it
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Keep on Stroke!
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Yeah, you're gonna Stroke
(Stroke me, stroke me)
Say you're a winner, but, man, you're just a sinner now
