Cruisin’ Lyrics
[Intro]
(Cruisin')
[Verse 1]
Baby, let's cruise, away from here
Don't be confused, the way is clear
And if you want it, you got it, forever
This is not a one night stand, baby, yeah so
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the music take your mind, ooh
Just release and you will find
[Chorus]
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together
[Verse 2]
Baby, tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch, we get closer and closer
To every little part of each other, ooh baby, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find
[Chorus]
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Baby let's cruise, let's flow, let's glide
Ooh, let's open up and go inside
And if you want it, you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
And love you baby
[Pre-Chorus]
