Whatever's Clever

[Intro]

Are you ready for me?

(Better let me know)

Are you ready for me?

(Better let me know)

Are you ready for me?

(Better let me know)

Yeah, yeah, uh

(You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever, baby)

[Chorus]

How can you be down

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So that I will stick around?

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

And you don't want to waste your time

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta go with some manners, you gotta do whatever's clever

If you wanna step to me

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So I'll listen carefully

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta say whatever, hear whatever

Mean whatever, hear whatever

Feel whatever, think whatever

Do whatever's clever

[Verse 1]

So, you want to roll with me

Here's advice that you should heed

Common sense is all you need

To avoid my thunder

First of all, talk to my face

And not the view below my waist

How we gonna conversate

While your head's down under?

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop! Where are you going?

(Stop, oh)

If you were in my shoes, what would you say?

(What?)

Man, stop! This is worth knowing

(Stop it)

So, a brother can't lose if he steps my way

(Yeah, yeah)

Stop! Where are you going?

(Stop, yeah)

If you were in my shoes, what would you say?

(Well, oh)

Man, stop! This is worth knowing

(Stop)

So, a brother can't lose if he steps my way

[Chorus]

How can you be down

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So that I will stick around?

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

And you don't want to waste your time

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta go with some manners, you gotta do whatever's clever

If you wanna step to me

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So I'll listen carefully

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta say whatever, hear whatever

Mean whatever, hear whatever

Feel whatever, think whatever

Do whatever's clever

[Verse 2]

Here's a very simple truth

Monkey see is monkey do

So, you're never getting through

If your boys are busters

Finally, please understand

What I have is by my hand

On my own I'm making ground

I am my own woman

[Pre-Chorus]

Stop! Where are you going?

(Stop it)

If you were in my shoes, what would you say?

(Where you going brother, stop!)

Man, stop! This is worth knowing

So a brother can't lose if he steps my way

(Hold up, back it up)

Stop! Where are you going?

(Stop)

If you were in my shoes, what would you say?

(Brother)

Man, stop! This is worth knowing

(Stop)

So a brother can't lose if he steps my way

[Chorus]

How can you be down

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So that I will stick around?

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

And you don't want to waste your time

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta go with some manners, you gotta do whatever's clever

If you wanna step to me

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

So I will listen carefully

(Gotta do whatever's clever)

You gotta say whatever, hear whatever

Mean whatever, hear whatever

Feel whatever, think whatever

Do whatever's clever
