Verse 1) I step into the lobby, see your face and hit the light We’re heading for the penthouse on a Tuesday night The doors slide shut, and the cables start to hum I’m feeling that sensation, here the pressure comes. (Chorus) Your love is like an elevator, up, down, up, down Lifting me to glory then dropping to the ground One minute I’m a king with the city at my feet The next I’m in the basement feeling incomplete Yeah, you’re moving, you’re grooving, you never stay around Your love is like an elevator, up, down, up, down. (Verse 2) We’re passing floor eleven, and my heart begins to race I’m staring at the numbers, trying to keep the pace But then you hit the button for a sudden, sharp descent I’m reeling from the feeling of the energy we spent. (Bridge) Don’t leave me in the shaft, don’t leave me in the dark I’m looking for a steady flame, not just a flickering spark But the bells keep ringing, and the floors keep flying by I’m praying for a level ground beneath a steady sky. (Chorus) Your love is like an elevator, up, down, up, down Lifting me to glory then dropping to the ground One minute I’m a king with the city at my feet The next I’m in the basement feeling incomplete Yeah, you’re moving, you’re grooving, you never stay around Your love is like an elevator, up, down, up, down. (Outro) Going up (Up, down) Going down (Up, down) Please just let me off this ride... Up, down, up, down.
