The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we can stop fighting each other
Long enough for us to see that, see that, see that
That we are stronger together than separate babe
You gotta believe that -lieve that -lieve that
But you love me today, don't want me around tomorrow
Every time you change your mind
I follow caught up, all up in your maze and I'm so dizzy babe
Can't keep going back and forth on these waves
I'm getting sea sick, sea sick, sea sick

Like the way we were before and I wanna know
If we can go back to the days when we was close
Sometimes I think I'm so low
Think you don't want me no more
And I've gotta get up off this see-saw

Like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky and touch the ground
Ground, ground like an elevator
You're stuck on one while I'm pressing three
Then we end up on the fourth floor
And then we disagree
Then you keep on blamin' me
But I wish that you would see that
I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator

Take you higher, t- t- take you higher
That I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator
Take you higher, t- t- take you higher
That I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator

And I feel like we're speaking two different languages
It's hard to read ya, read ya, read ya
But I know if you at least try to make it half way
I swear that I'll meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
But we can't have a conversation without beefing
Yellin' back and forth for no good reason
I won't let you leave and you keep asking me to stay
One of us better figure out what we want
'Cause I'm getting a headache, headache, headache

Like the way we were before and I wanna know
If we can go back to the days when we was close
Sometimes I think I'm so low
Think you don't want me no more
And I've gotta get up off this see-saw

Like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky and touch the ground
Ground, ground like an elevator
You're stuck on one while I'm pressing three
Then we end up on the fourth floor
And then we disagree
Then you keep on blamin' me
But I wish that you would see that
I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator

Oh if there's any man who understands what I'm saying
Won't you help me
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh there's gotta be some women who feeling the way I'm feeling
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll take the blame if it that'll make this go stop
I'll hold for you if we can make it to the top
But we gotta find a way to break down these walls baby
I'm waitin' on you, stop waitin' on me
Damn this elevator!

Like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky and touch the ground
Ground, ground like an elevator
You're stuck on one while I'm pressing three
Then we end up on the fourth floor
And then we disagree
Then you keep on blamin' me
But I wish that you would see that
I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator

Take you higher, t- t- take you higher
That I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator
Take you higher, t- t- take you higher
That I'm just trying to elevate you
Like an elevator

Overall Meaning

The Pussycat Dolls' "Elevator" is a song about a tumultuous relationship that resembles the ups and downs of an elevator ride. The lyrics suggest that the two people in the relationship are constantly fighting and struggling to find common ground, but the singer believes that they are stronger together than apart. She acknowledges that the relationship is a rollercoaster ride and that she gets "sea sick" from the constant back and forth. The singer also expresses a desire to return to a time when they were closer and had a better connection. She believes that if they could just communicate better, they could work through their problems and elevate their relationship to a better place.

The song's chorus likens their relationship to an elevator, with the constant up and down motion. The singer suggests that she is trying to elevate her partner and take their relationship higher, but she feels like they are speaking two different languages and can't seem to get on the same page. The bridge of the song is a plea for help from others who may have experienced a similar situation and a desire to break down the walls that are keeping the relationship from growing.

Overall, "Elevator" is a poignant exploration of a relationship that is struggling to find common ground. The lyrics showcase the singer's desire to work through their problems and elevate their connection to a better place, but the constant back and forth is causing her to feel dizzy and seasick. The song is a relatable and emotional examination of the highs and lows of any relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

If we can stop fighting each other
If we can just put an end to our conflicts

Long enough for us to see that, see that, see that
So that we may realize that we are stronger together

That we are stronger together than separate babe
We amplify our strength by uniting together

You gotta believe that -lieve that -lieve that
It's important to have faith in this truth

But you love me today, don't want me around tomorrow
Your love for me is inconsistent

Every time you change your mind
You keep altering your decisions

I follow caught up, all up in your maze and I'm so dizzy babe
I feel like I'm trapped in your confusing web

Can't keep going back and forth on these waves
We can't keep going through these repetitive arguments

I'm getting sea sick, sea sick, sea sick
I feel nauseous from all this oscillation

Like the way we were before and I wanna know
I miss how things used to be and I wonder if it's possible to go back

If we can go back to the days when we were close
To relive those times where we felt a deep connection

Sometimes I think I'm so low
There are moments when I feel inadequate

Think you don't want me no more
I get the feeling you're over me

And I've gotta get up off this see-saw
We need to stop this back-and-forth motion

Like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Our situation is like an elevator that rises and falls

We touch the sky and touch the ground
It feels like we're reaching great heights and then crashing down again

You're stuck on one while I'm pressing three
We're on different levels, I want more from this relationship

Then we end up on the fourth floor
We somehow end up disagreeing

And then we disagree
We always find something to argue about

Then you keep on blamin' me
You always put the blame on me

But I wish that you would see that
I hope you realize

I'm just trying to elevate you
I'm trying to help you reach new heights

Take you higher, t- t- take you higher
I want to help you achieve your goals

And I feel like we're speaking two different languages
I feel like we don't understand each other

It's hard to read ya, read ya, read ya
I find it difficult to connect with you

But I know if you at least try to make it half way
I believe that if you make an effort we can meet in the middle

I swear that I'll meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
I'll do my best to understand you

But we can't have a conversation without beefing
Unfortunately, we always end up arguing

Yellin' back and forth for no good reason
Our fights are often over petty things

I won't let you leave and you keep asking me to stay
We're both unsure of what we want

One of us better figure out what we want
We need to decide on what we really want in this relationship

'Cause I'm getting a headache, headache, headache
This situation is causing me stress and discomfort

Oh if there's any man who understands what I'm saying
I hope someone understands my situation

Won't you help me Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Can you empathize with me?

Oh there's gotta be some women who feeling the way I'm feeling
I'm sure there are others who feel the same way

I'll take the blame if it that'll make this go stop
I'm willing to take responsibility if that can put an end to this

I'll hold for you if we can make it to the top
I'll support you if we can succeed together

But we gotta find a way to break down these walls baby
We need to find a solution to our communication problems

I'm waitin' on you, stop waitin' on me
I'm waiting for you to come to a decision

Damn this elevator!
This elevator is driving me crazy!
