Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Too cool too cool)
(Lose it lose it)
Baby girl you got me cruisin' (Cruisin')
I'm ready to lose it all
I don't know wassup with you no
Seem like you're never here at all
I don't know if it's me
(If it's me)
Or if it's you
(If it's you)
But
We don't listen and it's confusing
I say one thing you say one thing
(Lose it, lose it)
Neither of us are listening
(Nobody)
I don't know what to do
Sometimes you be acting' too cool
(Too cool too cool)
Never me vs you
Thought you make it feel that way
I'm just gonna say I'm cruisin'
Ready to risk it all or lose (Yeah)
I'm cruisin'
Baby you got me cruisin'
I'm cruisin', I'm cruisin'
I'm crusin' baby you got me cruisin'
Cruisin' cruisin'
The song "Cruising" by N&K speaks about a relationship that is on the rocks. The singer is expressing their confusion as to why their partner seems distant and unavailable. They're also unsure if the reason for this is due to something they've done or if it's a reflection of their partner's feelings. Both parties seem to be talking over each other without genuinely listening or understanding the other's perspective. The singer expresses their willingness to take a risk and "lose it all" for the sake of the relationship or to let it go entirely. The term "cruising" is used as a metaphor for going with the flow and allowing whatever will happen to happen.
Overall, the song is about the universal experience of relational conflict and the struggle of trying to keep communication lines open. The theme of risk-taking and the idea of being willing to lose everything for the sake of a relationship is a powerful message that speaks to the desire for deep connections with others.

I cannot remember how many times I've played this song over the years just cruising around or when I wanted to clear my mind.... At least a couple thousand times.

This is my summer song. Nothing like cruising the countryside, with the windows down, sunroof open, & this blasting. Who wants to go for a ride?! lol

Oh yes my sister showed me this song years ago and I still put it on especially when I'm driving! Always loved this song and the beat and the goosebumps I still get from it.
