I’m cruisin’ through town tonight
Do you go walkin’ out after midnight?
Because I’m goin’ down to a place I know
The park by the lake
Where the boys all go
Did I meet you there one time?
With sunglasses on, you were lookin’ so good
Lookin’ like you walked right off of a department store window
Did I meet you once before?
At the shopping mall, where the girls all go
You had another hand in yours but your eyes were somewhere else
White lines and neon signs they can lead a man astray
Meet me in the park tonight we can hide ourselves away
Just like it never happened your secret’s safe with me
I’m walkin’ right in front of you
There’s no talkin’ when I talk to you
I can’t tell you what I’m tryin’ to do
Keep cruisin’ til I find someone who looks like you
Aw, baby I’m still cruisin’
Yeah, I’m cruisin’ for you
And I’ll never ever find a one who looks like you
Aw, baby I’m still cruisin’
Yeah, I’m cruisin’ for you
Cause I’ll never ever find a one who looks like you
You saw me cruisin’ across the tracks
I turned to you but you turned your back
Don’t leave me playin’ the same ol’ role
All revved up with nowhere to go
I cruise past the other guys
They got nothin’ on you, so I leave them behind
They told me you been here before they passed ya up cause you’re too shy
Well I, too can recall a time
When I hid from my love
And to myself I was blind
All the passion in your heart can build a prison in your mind
I don’t a Bible to tell me right from wrong
I don’t need a porno, baby, to show me how it’s done
It don’t have to last forever we can do it just for fun
Don’t leave me hangin’ round here to walk the night alone
I’ll cruise until I get lost and then you can take me home
I’m walkin’ right in front of you
There’s no talkin’ when I talk to you
I can’t tell you what I’m tryin’ to do
Keep cruisin’ til I find someone who looks like you do
Aw, baby I’m still cruisin’
Yeah, I’m cruisin’ for you
And I’ll never ever find a one who looks like you
Aw, baby I’m still cruisin’
Yeah, I’m cruisin’ for you
Cause I’ll never ever find a one who looks like you
Aw, baby I’m still cruisin’
Cruisin’ for you
Why’d ya have to leave me cruisin’ round lookin’ for you
