[Intro: Damian Marley & (Jermaine Dupri)]
2008, watch it! Yeah!
Yo, Mariah Carey alongside Gong Marley
Huh, natty, check it, pepper!
(Y'all know what this is)

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
Can't get him outta my mind
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

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But, oh-oh, I can't resist him
Just wanna kiss him
I need cruise control

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Might needa go slow
I don't know why I 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, uh, he so smooth with it
Deep down inside, don't wanna lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

[Post-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
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

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
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'

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But, oh-oh, I can't resist him
Just wanna kiss him
I need cruise control

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Might needa go slow
I don't know why I 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, uh, he so smooth with it
Deep down inside, don't wanna lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

[Bridge: Damian Marley]
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

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Might needa go slow
I don't know why I 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, uh, he so smooth with it
Deep down inside, don't wanna lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
