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)
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
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm going down

Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground
Jackie'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

Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm going 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 going down
Love in an
Elevator

Going down
Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionaire
Gonna be a real fast talker
And have me a love affair
Gotta get my timing right
It's a test that I got to pass
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway honey
Kiss your sassafras
