Elevator
Nicole Scherzinger & Will.I.Am Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Super-fast through the quiet night
While you were driving I went down on you
Take me somewhere, we'll try something new
Loving you is good, touching you is better
I'd keep you if I could, keep you here forever
Loving you is good, touching you is better
Loving you is good, good, good
Touching you is better, touching you is better
When you come around I lose the fear
When you come around it's better here
On the inside, in the city around
Take me somewhere I won't be so down
Loving you is good, touching you is better
I'd keep you if I could, keep you here forever
Loving you is good, touching you is better
I'd keep you if I could, keep you here forever
Loving you is good, good, good
Touching you is better, touching you is better
Take me somewhere I've never been
Where the boys are out and they're fading
With you I'll live freely like they live
When the boys go out and they're fading
If you touch me there in the elevator
I'll think about it when, when I'm lonely later
If you touch me there in the elevator
I'll think about it when, when I'm lonely later
