  • 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

    I've been told so many sagas
    He brings the drama, six baby mamas
    (But uh ooh)
    I can't resist 'em
    Just want to kiss 'em
    I need cruise control

    Might need to go slow, I don't know
    Why 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 ooh he so smooth with it
    Deep down inside don't want to lose him
    He already know I'm willin' to go
    Gotta get on cruise control)

    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

    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'

    I've been told so many sagas
    He brings the drama, six baby mamas
    But uh ooh
    I can't resist 'em
    Just want to kiss 'em
    I need cruise control

    Might need to go slow, I don't know
    Why 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 ooh he so smooth with it
    Deep down inside don't want to lose him
    He already know I'm willin' to go
    Gotta get on cruise control

    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

    Might need to go slow, I don't know
    Why 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 ooh he so smooth with it
    Deep down inside don't want to lose him
    He already know I'm willin' to go
    Gotta get on cruise control Writer/s: CRYSTAL JOHNSON, DAMIAN MARLEY, JERMAINE DUPRI, MANUEL SEAL, MARIAH CAREY
