  • 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
    Let the music take your mind
    Ooh, just release and you will find

    You're gonna fly away, glad you're goin' my way
    I love it when we're cruising together
    The music is played for love
    Cruising is made for love
    I love it when we're cruising together

    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, so
    Let the music take your mind
    Just release, and you will find

    You're gonna fly away, glad you're goin' my way
    I love it when we're cruising together
    The music is played for love
    Cruising is made for love
    I love it when we're cruising together

    Cruise with me, baby
    Cruise
    Cruise

    Baby, let's cruise
    Let's float, 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
    Let the music take your mind
    Just release, and you will find

    You're gonna fly, yeah, I'm glad you're goin' my way
    I love it when we're cruising together
    The music is played for love
    Cruising is made for
    I love it when we're cruising together (I love it, I love it, I love it)

    You're gonna fly away, glad you're goin' my way (I love it, yeah)
    I love it when we're cruising together
    Music is played for love (it's love music)
    Cruising is made for love (oh, baby)
    I love it when we're cruising together Writer/s: Marvin Tarplin, Smokey Robinson
