Baby let's cruise, away from here
Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
Just for a one night stand in bed
Let the music take your mind
And, just release and you would find

Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch we get closer and closer oh
Every little part is in touch

Just heard this while walking to store...........and it sure did take me back. But truth be told, I stay in the "past". There's just some things and people (especially when it comes to what you know what you want, concerning YOUR interests), that NEVER change!
