[Intro]
(Crusin')

[Verse 1]
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, yeah so

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the music take your mind, ooh
Just release and you will find

[Chorus]
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

[Verse 2]
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, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find

[Chorus]
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

[Bridge]
(Cruise with me baby
Cruise with me baby
Cruise), hooh-hooh, yeah, oh baby
(Cruise), ow, ow
So good to cruise with you, baby
So good to cruise with you, baby
Ow, yeah
You need, baby

[Verse 3]
Baby let's cruise, let's flow, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the music, take your mind
Just release and you will find

[Chorus]
You're gonna fly away
Yeah, I'm glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is... oh!
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

[Outro]
Oh, baby (We're gonna fly away)
Oh, baby (Glad you're going my way)
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is... oh!
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
(We're gonna fly away), yeah
(Glad you're going my way)
I love it, when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for...
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
I love it (We're gonna fly away)
(Glad you're going my way)
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
