Whatever's Clever

Beverley Knight

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

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

[Verse 1]

How can you be down?

you gotta do whatever's clever

So that I will stick around

you gotta do whatever's clever

And you don't want to waste your time

you gotta do whatever's clever

You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever

If you wanna step to me

You gotta do whatever's clever

So I'll listen carefully..

You gotta do whatever's clever

You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,

Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever

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

Not the view below my waist

How we gonna conversate

While your head's down under?

Stop where are you going

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

Stop, this is worth knowing

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

Stop where are you going

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

Stop, this is worth knowing

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

[Chorus repeat]

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

All I have is by my hand

On my own I'm making ground

I am my own woman.

Stop where are you going

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

Stop, this is worth knowing

So a brother can choose if he steps my way.

Stop where are you going

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

Stop, this is worth knowing

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

[Chorus repeat]

[Intro repeat (x2)]
