[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
We’re like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky then 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 tryna elevate you
Like an elevator

[Post-Chorus]
Take you higher, t-t-take you higher
That I'm just tryna elevate you
Like an elevator
Take you higher, t-t-take you higher
That I'm just tryna elevate you
Like an elevator

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
We’re like an elevator, we go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky then 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 tryna elevate you
Like an elevator

[Bridge]
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 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!

[Chorus]
We go up, and we go down
Down, down, like an elevator
We touch the sky then 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 tryna elevate you
Like an elevator

[Post-Chorus / Outro]
Take you higher, t-t-take you higher
That I'm just tryna elevate you
Like an elevator
Take you higher, t-t-take you higher
That I'm just tryna elevate you
Like an elevator

The Pussycat Dolls

Initially working as a burlesque troupe, entrepreneur and artist, Robin Antin, founded “The Pussycat Dolls” and turned them into one of the most prominent girl bands of the 2000s. Seven girls–Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, Kaya Jones and Kimberly Wyatt–were signed in 2003 to Interscope Records. Their debut single “Sway” was released in 2004 to no success.

The group’s debut album PCD was released in 2005 to huge success, becoming top-five hits worldwide including in the UK Album Charts and the Billboard 200 and has sold nine million copies worldwide. It featured the group’s most popular songs such as “Don’t Cha”, “Stickwitu”, and “Beep”. “Don’t Cha” is one of the best-selling girl group songs of all time and “Stickwitu” earn the girls' a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group.

After the departure of Carmit Bachar, Doll Domination was released as their second and final album in 2008. It spawned hit singles such as “When I Grow Up” and “I Hate This Part”.
