[Intro: Catherine Epps]
2nd floor. Hardware, children's wear, lady's lingerie
Oh, good morning Mr. Tyler, going....down?

[Stephen Tyler]
Heh heh heh
Oooo.....

[Verse 1]
Mmmm [repeat]
Yeah
Workin' like a dog for the boss man (Whoa)
Workin' for the company (Whoa, yeah)
Bettin' on the dice I'm tossin' (Whoa)
I'm gonna have a fantasy (Whoa, yeah)
But where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines

[Chorus]
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground

[Verse 2]
Jackey's in the elevator (Whoa)
Lingerie second floor (Whoa, yeah)
She said, "Can I see you later (Whoa)
And love you just a little more?" (Whoa, yeah)
I kinda hope we get stuck
Nobody gets out alive
She said, "I'll show you how to fax
In the mail room, honey
And have you home by five"

[Chorus]
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground
In the air, in the air
Honey, one more time now, it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Love in an
Elevator
Going down
Haha-haha-haha-haha

[Chorus]
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I hit the ground

[Verse 3]
Gonna be a penthouse pauper (Whoa)
Gonna be a millionaire (Whoa, yeah)
Gonna be a real fast talker (Whoa)
And have me a love affair (Whoa, yeah)
Gotta get my timing right (Whoa)
It's a test that I got to pass (Whoa, yeah)
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway, honey (Whoa)
Kiss your sassafras

[Chorus]
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up 'til we hit the ground
Will you care, will you care
Honey, one more time now, it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Will you care, will you care
Honey, one more time now, it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
In the air, in the air
Honey, one one one one one one one
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
In the air, in the air
Honey, one one one one one one one
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
In the air, in the air
Honey, one one one one one one one
Love in an elevator
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
In the air, in the air
In the air, in the air
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
