Cruisin'
Gwyneth Paltrow &Huey Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Just release and you will find
You're gonna fly away, glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Music is played for love, cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Baby tonight, belongs to us
Everything right, do what you must
And inch by inch we grow closer and closer
To every lil' part of each other, oh 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 cruisin' together
Music is played for love, cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Cruise with me baby
Oh oh oh
Yeah oh oh oh
Oh baby, let's cruise
Let's float, let's glide
Oh, let's open up and go inside





And if you want it, you got it forever
I could just stay here beside you and love you baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis's song "Cruisin'" describe a desire to escape from the present moment and enter into a timeless state of love and togetherness. The singer suggests "cruising" away from their current situation, promising that the way forward is clear and that their love will not be a fleeting one-night stand. As they embark on this journey together, they are encouraged to allow the music to transport them and to let go of any doubts or anxieties. The second half of the song focuses on the present moment, with the affirmation that "baby tonight belongs to us" and the promise that each small step brings them closer to one another.


On a deeper level, the lyrics embody the feeling of being fully present and alive in a moment of pure connection with another person. The act of cruising could be interpreted as a metaphor for this experience, as the couple is not necessarily going anywhere specific, but simply enjoying the ride together.

2023 and still never gets old. Their voices are golden together. Gwenyth really has a stunningly, smooth, voice.

@willy325

2024 And it still applies. This is gold from Huey and Gwenyth. Absolute gold. But I acknowledge the creepy vibes some others call out but really? Hollywood.

@andybroer651

Huey is very under rated and he proves it here with Gwyneth, who is also a talented singer in her own right. This duet knocks it outta the park!

@yigalordbanette8044

Disagree Huey had a great career and we all know his voice maybe u live under a rock

@andybroer651

I don't understand your comment. I think Huey is awesome and was complimenting him. He was the person I first saw in concert as I was a teen. He's great!@@yigalordbanette8044

@bitfenix90

After this film, I left the theater hoping we'd see a huge outpouring of Hollywood stars singing and performing (MOULIN ROUGE, CHICAGO, etc) but I always wanted more

@andybroer651

Huey HAS a great career. Since they (He and the NEWS) were my first in person concert in the 80s... not sure the rock comment applies also, I'm a past professional Radio DJ in New York State with FCC license to broadcast@@yigalordbanette8044

@kellykountouris7193

Huey Lewis is not underrated 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
It's like you ppl don't know what that word means.

What a beautifully performed song. Their voices meshed so well and the beat was just...smooth!

@danielinthemaiden9039

My dad thought that his voice sounded messed up next to hers, but I like it.
