CRUISING
Clark Terry - music
Les Harris, Jr - lyrics
You’re sure to see me cruising all over town,
I’m cruising looking for love out in all the clubs.
My nights are spent just cruising.
I’m hitting all of the night spots around,
I’m free.
And so I’m hitting the town, feeling down.
The time I lose while driving,
Just stuck in stop and go traffic in town wastes
time that I know I could be spending with you, if we could make up.
I travel up and down the highway wasting good time.
When all I want to hear is you’ll still be mine.
But still I keep on cruising, paying my dues,
when the one that I want is still you.
It’s time I quit this cruising.
I’ve changed my ways and I’m coming back home to you.
Back to a love that is true.
You’re on my mind as I sit here in traffic cruising. It’s true.
I make believe I’m cruising but the simple truth is that my mind is filled with thoughts
of you and all I’m looking for is you.
Still I keep on driving through the city streets think I’m going clubbing when it’s you I’m really loving.
Time out here cruising amounts to nothing.
I stop at every club but don’t go inside sit here outside in my car.
There’s only you in my heart.
I need to cruise back home and call you on the phone and I’ll tell you that it’s just you I love.
I made a mistake and I never meant to hurt you.
I just don’t know what to do.
I keep cruising all over town,
Feeling down, making the rounds, Still haven’t found you.
Still keep trying never really moving forward still I keep on driving toward the city.
I’m still cruising up and down the highway thinking of the words I’ll say when you and I are back together and I can be done with all this cruising.
Called you up and asked you to forgive me for all the time I’ve wasted being apart from you and I speak the truth.
So glad to park the car and be back with you.
Happy to give up the cruising, and glad to be back together.
I’ve turned over a new leaf and I want to ask you now if you will stay with me forever.
And I’m so glad we’re back together, where we belong.
I took our love for granted and I was wrong.
So happy you forgave me for my mistake.
No more cruising, I hit the brakes.
Now life is great, no more cruising.
I’m so glad to stay home with you.
It’s just you and me here at home,
and now I’m cruising on down the hall to be with you.
