Cruisin'
Smokey Robinson & The Temptations Lyrics

Cruise

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, so
Let the music take your mind
Ooh, just release and you will find

You're gonna fly away, glad your goin' my way

I love it when we're cruising together
The music is played 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
To every little part of each other, ooh, baby, so

Let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find

You're gonna fly away, glad your goin' my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music is played for love
Cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Cruise with me baby
Cruise with me baby

Cruise

So good to cruise
So good to cruise

Baby, let's cruise
Let's float, let's glide
Ooh, 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
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find

You're gonna fly, yeah, I'm glad your goin' my way
I love it when we're cruising together
The music is played for love
Cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

You're gonna fly away, glad your goin' my way
I love it when we're cruising together
The music is played for love
Cruising is made for love
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it

You're gonna fly away (yeah) glad your goin' my way
I love it when we're cruising together
The music is played for love
Cruising is made for love
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it

You're gonna fly away (yeah) glad your goin' my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music is played for love
Cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

I'm sure that she is.I recently lost my husband 3 months ago. This morning I was sitting here feeling alone and depress and this song came in my thoughts out of no where. I didn't know who the artist was so I googled it. I felt as if he wanted me to listen to the lyrics.I believe in life after death. I believe that our love one's are in heaven just enjoying paradise.

My dad introduced me to this song when I was about 7. I’m 27 years old. He would always play his old classics on the way to our fishing trips and I hated it (I really actually liked the music but didn’t want to admit it lol) but man, when this song came on, it caught me. It made me feel like I was living in the 60’s and 70’s during the Motown era. This song will forever stick with me. My dad passed away unexpectedly my senior year of college and this song will ALWAYS bring back those memories. RIP pops 🙏🏾💙

I'm 70 and love this song from Smokey. I think it's his best song he ever wrote. I used to slow dance to this tune at the soc hops with my high school sweetheart. after the dance we'd go crusin down the Blvd. there was no cell phones, computers, x boxes and play stations to distract us, just loving up on one another and having fun. I sure do miss those days and this song makes me cry.

Thank you for posting your heart-warming story. I lost my dad when I was 15 and my mother just died a few weeks ago. The emptiness you describe, I feel it and that sense of something so important being torn out of your life, like an arm being torn out of your body. I am so sad that my mum is gone and it upsets me to speak about her as someone who once lived. It feels like a betrayal, like accepting that she is someone of the past. She was always here. I feel your pain as it is my pain as well. On a positive note , I have met my father again in my dream. It was beautiful and I enjoyed hearing his voice. We were speaking over the phone. It was good to talk to him. I think they are still around.

My dad asked me to play this song on July 30, 2017 as he transitioned. It was his way of telling me goodbye. I put the song on repeat and said a lil prayer and asked the Lord to allow me to sleep through the transition but awake for the time of death and HE did just that. I laid in the bed with my dad held his hand and laid my head oh his shoulders and he cruised right on away. It’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my dad. I was his only child the love of his life. I’ll give anything to see him, talk to him, love on him again......Jesus this hurt ❤️😭❤️

Smokey is one of the smoothest cats that has ever lived. If he had just been a great songwriter he would still be legendary, if he had just been a great vocalist he would still be legendary and if he had just been a producer he would still have been legendary and yet this master possesses all three of those gifts in a remarkable degree. Motown owes this man everything.

I grew up listening to oldies everyday. I had my first daughter in 09 and she grew up listening to them as well. She was a very sick child/ and still is. She heard this song and she loved it! This song seemed to ease her pain. I’d literally have to put her in her car seat at 3 in the morning and drive her around listening to this song. 😊 When she’s having a bad night with seizing I play this and it calms her down.

Thank God I grew up on this and other real music. I can close my eyes and I'm right back to a block party when I was a kid. Youngins running through parked cars playing tag, girls playing rope in the street. Older youngins playing dice or dominos and the OGs either cooking, dancing, gossiping or playing cards. Damn I miss those days

Hi Tammy...
That's an EXCELLENT word to describe, not only this song, but Smokey Robinson as a whole; just an awesome (smoooothhh as silk) singer; "FINESSE!"

Synonyms for Finesse: refinement, savvy, subtleness, artfulness, skillful, (extreme) workmanship... Yep, that definitely describes Mr. Robinson! <3

This is the song that brought my attention to Smokey Robinson as a boy.
When I heard this I just KNEW that this was an artist that stood in a very unique place and his body of work is testimony to that.
Smokey Bill Robinsons contributions to the world of music has stood the test of time and he only gets BETTER. He has a VERY distinct, sensual and soothing sound to his voice that plays so well to the melody of a song.
Being with you is another favorite of mine and I enjoyed singing this to a lovely vivacious young woman I befriended as a teenager I knew in high school.
I even bought a v neck sweater that somewhat resembled the sweater Smokey used in the video to this gem.
Smokey Robinson, what can I say other than THANK YOU for such timeless music.

@redhead438

9y↑6

If you like this, then you will love his songs Quiet Storm and Baby come close. (Jennifer Hudson remade it, pretty decent).

@curtisostriker9952

9y↑12

Jodie Chestnut Hi Jodie. I heard them BOTH and Smokey put the S in Quiet storm. Smokey is a unique artist who to me definitely stands within a category all to himself. His music is perfect for that special night of Romance and everything in between.
Love,sensuality,sensitivity and harmony etc.. are the cornerstones of his poetic melody.

I love this song and the stories of others sharing this song with their dad as he passed away into the next world or at their funeral. May your fathers cruise with Smokey Robinson in the afterlife. He was as well such an honest man who spoke his mind. I wish you well and hope for the good people who shared their heartwarming stories, that you may reunite with your fathers in this world and at a day in the future with them in the afterworld. Keep your head up high in the meantime and spread the love and kindness your fathers had for you.

I was 7 when we had a private concert in San Jose CA, Mary Wells, Smokey Robinson, Captain and Taneal played a handful of their biggest hits, still fresh in my mind like it was yesterday.... Songs today missing that soul, crisp voice shining through. Thank you!!
