REGGAE CRUISING
He saw me serving in Godiva's bar,
He tipped a fiver for his nerve and idled in a red car, uh huh.
Said he'd gone too far,
Goin' reggae cruising.
Go nowhere never 'till you learn the cues,
So when he turned the engine, revved it for a burn, I knew, uh huh,
To revise my view,
Goin' reggae cruising.
Let me tell you that we're cruising and we're moving now,
We got to spin the dice and choose it,
Find the way we don't know how,
Goin' reggae cruising.
And I tell you that we're cruising and we're moving now,
We got to win and never lose it,
On the way we find out how,
Goin' reggae cruising.
We stayed a year together 'though I knew
That he was gay, well it was clear to me before he broke the news,
To revise my views,
Goin' reggae cruising.
I went to cover at an all night bar,
And now I've fallen for another girl, and that's the way things are.
Say we gone too far,
Goin' reggae cruising.
Let me tell you that we're cruising and we're moving now,
We got to spin the dice and choose it,
Find the way we don't know how,
Goin' reggae cruising.
And I tell you that we're cruising and we're moving now,
We got to win and never lose it,
On the way we find out how,
Goin' reggae cruising.
Step outside and come for the ride,
Take a chance, decide.
Spin the dice to win,
Reggae cruising.
