Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
Music was made 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 oh
Every little part is in touch
Oh baby, baby oh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find, baby
I love it I love it
We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together
Oh oh, cruise for me babe
Oh baby let's cruise
Let's flow, let's glide
Oh 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, oh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find, baby
We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together
Oh, we gonna fly
We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together
The song "Cruisin'" by Smokey Robinson was covered by James Barth in the 1980s. The song is about escaping from the mundane daily routine and embarking on a journey, taking a break from the stress and responsibilities of life. Barth sings to his partner as he suggests that they should "cruise" away, letting the music take their minds as they escape for a night of unbridled passion.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of being in the moment with your partner, offering reassurance that everything is right and that they can "do what they must" to show their affection. The use of terms like "fly away" and "cruise" give the song a sense of freedom and joy, while also highlighting the intimate nature of the experience.
The repetition of the phrase "I love it when we're cruising together" throughout the song serves as an anchor, driving home the central theme of togetherness and intimacy as the couple enjoys a night of passion and escape.
