“Cruise Control” is a track by Mariah and Damien Marley that was included on her E=MC² album, released in 2008. “What it really means is that you have to slow down,” Mariah explained. “Because every time you're around this guy, you're going a little too fast, and he's the wrong type of guy for you to be with, but you don't know how to handle it.”
Can't get him outta my mind
Can't explain it but it's somethin' bout him
Makin' me hot like a motor revvin' over and over
It don't stop he cruised beside me now I'm
Flyin', driving
Through yellow lights I'm ignorin' every sign of caution
That they provide
Drivers education 101 slipped out of my mind
I need me a caddy with some cruise control
I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But uh oh, I can't resist him
Just want to kiss him I need cruise control
Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why I ease up on the brake every time I see his face
I'm outta control I…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 into view
Cause he's the flyest ting when he be cruisin'
On me avenue
When tha door open, de gals pon de block
They be hopin', to rob tha 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 oh, I can't resist him
Just want to kiss him I need cruise control
Might need to go slow I don't know
Why I ease up on the brake every time I see his face
I'm outta control I…I don't know
How to stay up in me 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
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
Might need to go slow I don't know
Why I ease up on the brake every time I see his face
I'm outta control I…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 oh 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
