Cruise Control
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't explain it but it's somethin 'bout him
Makin' me high
Like a motor revin' over and over
It don't stop
He cruised beside me now
I'm flyin', drivin'
Through yellow lights
I'm ignorin' every sign of caution that they provide
Driver's Education 101
Slipped out of my mind
I need me a caddy
With some cruise control
No, no, no
I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
(But uh ooh)
I can't resist 'em
Just want to kiss 'em
I need cruise control
Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain
(Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control)
C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control
Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nothin'
When he comes in to view
'Cause he's the flyest ting when he be cruisin'
On me avenue
Then da door open, de gals 'pon de block
They be hopin, to rob the clock me say no man
Step up step up bottle broken
Think I'm jokin'
I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But uh ooh
I can't resist 'em
Just want to kiss 'em
I need cruise control
Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain
Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control
You put your hand in cruise control
And you deny me if you want
And you will starve yourself of love
If you don't speed and break the law
You can't get no speeding ticket
On the highway to my heart
And it might be a rocky road
And you can exit if you want (why you always)
Look at life just like a pessimist
You already like a wife up in my premises
And right ya now you cruise control it is my nemesis
Just come again and stop and start just like a genesis
Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain
Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

I'm ignorin' every sign of caution that they provide

Driver's Education 101
Basic rules of driving safely are being forgotten/ignored
Slipped out of my mind

I need me a caddy
I need a car with cruise control to help me maintain control
With some cruise control
I need something to regulate my emotions
No, no, no
I'm denying my impulse to continue pursuing him
I've been told so many sagas
I've heard many stories about him
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
He has a lot of baggage and complicated relationships

'Cause he's the flyest ting when he be cruisin'
He's very attractive when he's 'cruising' and being confident
On me avenue
He catches my attention when he comes down my street
Then da door open, de gals 'pon de block
Other girls on the block are noticing him too
They be hopin, to rob the clock me say no man
They want to steal him away from me, but I won't let them
Step up step up bottle broken
I'm daring anyone to challenge me and I'm not afraid of consequences
Think I'm jokin'
I'm serious about defending my relationship with him from anyone who tries to interfere
You put your hand in cruise control
You need to regulate your emotions like cruise control to avoid getting hurt
And you deny me if you want
You can reject my advances if you choose to
And you will starve yourself of love
If you don't let yourself love, you'll be unfulfilled
If you don't speed and break the law
If you don't take chances, you'll never find happiness
You can't get no speeding ticket
You can't get punished for taking risks in love
On the highway to my heart
Being with me requires taking risks and going on a journey
And it might be a rocky road
It won't be easy to be with me, but it will be worth it
And you can exit if you want
If the journey gets too tough, you can leave
