Provoking (Love Strokin’) Lyrics

Don't want no sympathy
Don't have to make love to me
But in the morning before you wake
I'll be another adultery case

Provokin'
Love strokin'
Provokin'
Love strokin'

Don't want no sympathy
Don't have to make love to me
But in the morning before you wake
I'll be another adultery case

Provokin'
Love strokin'
Provokin'
Love strokin'

I understand that your days are long
Traffic's heavy when you're comin' home
Your boss has loaded you down with work
But he can't feel where your woman's hurt

Provokin'
Love strokin'
Provokin'
Love strokin'
Said I'm all zoomed up, I'm ready to fire
Someone else's arms are not my desire
You are the juice to my live wire
But if you can't, someone will take me higher

Provokin'
Love strokin'
Provokin'
Love strokin'

Don't want no sympathy
Don't have to make love to me
But in the morning before you wake
I'll be another adultery case
