Cruisin'
Theresa Sokyrka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be confused the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
This is not a one night stand
So let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find
You're gonna fly away, glad you'll go my way
Music is played for love, cruisin is made for love
Well I love it when we're cruisin together
Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch we get closer and closer
Every little part of each other
Yeah baby yeah
So let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find
You're gonna fly away, glad you'll go my way
Well I love it when we're cruisin together
Music is played for love, cruisin is made for love
Well I love it when we're cruisin together yeah
You're gonna fly away, glad you'll go my way
Well I love it when we're cruisin together
Music is played for love, cruisin is made for love
Well I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
Woah oh yeah
Well I love it when we're cruisin together
Music is played for love, cruisin is made for love
Well I love it when we're cruisin together

The lyrics suggest a sense of spontaneity and freedom, as the couple escapes from the mundane realities of everyday life and focuses on enjoying each other's company. The lines "Don't be confused the way is clear" and "Everything's right, do what you must" imply a disregard for societal norms and an emphasis on living in the moment. The repeated refrain "Music is played for love, cruisin is made for love" reinforces the idea that music and cruising are inextricably linked to feelings of passion and desire.
The first verse establishes the tone for the rest of the song, with lyrics that invite the listener to join in on the journey: "Baby let's cruise, away from here / And if you want it you got it forever / This is not a one night stand / So let the music take your mind / Just release and you will find." The second verse describes how the couple's relationship becomes more intimate as they "get closer and closer," implying a gradual progression from initial attraction to deeper emotional connection. The bridge ("You're gonna fly away...") echoes the excitement and joy of being with a loved one, while the final repetition of the refrain drives home the central message of the song.
Overall, "Cruisin'" is a heartfelt song that celebrates the joys of romance and adventure.
