Oh love you can't control it.
Just throw on the dice and roll it.
You got it better, than anybody ever,
and their ain't no way to stop.

Maybe you got a dollar,
or maybe you got nothin', baby
well you can stop fishin', your girls on a mission,
you know she's going straight to the top.

I need a love!
To take me higher.
Risin' above!
All of the hatters gone hate,
and theres no sense waitin!

Elevator!
Straight to the top floor!
I've been walkin these halls for too long.
Lookin for my elevator.!

So you can call me this baby.
Love you drive me crazy.
And I'll be in the van in the back of my seran,
comin' up out of my shell.

Maybe I'll give you a dollar.
Maybe I'll give you nothing, baby.
I don't like your dollars there's somethin' in the water.
Take you to another level.

I need a love!
To take me higher.
Risin' above!
All of the haters gone hate and no sense waitin',

Elevator!
Straight to the top floor!
I've been walkin' these halls for too long.
Lookin' for my, lookin' for my,
Elevator!
Straight to the top floor!
I've been walkin' these halls for too long,
Lookin for my,
Elevator!

Oh,
You can love me till' I lose it.
So!
Give me all your love,
Ya gotta give me all your love!
Oh,

So,
Give me all your love!
Ya gotta give me all your love.

Elevator!
Straigt to the top floor!
I've been walking these halls for too long,
lookin' for my, lookin' for my elevator!

Straight to the top floor!
I've been waling these halls for too long,
lookin for my,

Elevator!

Straight tp the top floor!
I've been walking these halls for too long.

Straight to the top floor! (elevator)




I've been walkin' these halls for too long,
searching for my elevator!
