Elevator (Going Up)
lyrics: Monique Bingham
VERSE
look what you've done
should come with a disclaimer
so that no one
ever falls
for what you got
she'll never fall again
she won't
he should come with a disclaimer
they met on an elevator
and who could blame her
he was going down
and she was going up
CHORUS
"going up" repeat
excuse me please
please hold the door
put out his hand
and he held it for her
and she jumped on
he kinda smiled and she sorta smiled
he had pushed ground
so they went down
she pushed ten and
he gave his hand
he gave his name
she did the same
the where you from
the what you've done
and they could feel
what fate had sealed
and they'd tell this story
over and over over and over again
how fate how
B SECTION
it's fate how
Oh can you imagine had you never heard my call
it's fate how
And if the happenstance that happened never happened at all
it's fate how
Or the million things that had to coalesce to make you wait that night
it's fate how
Had I curled my hair or worn a different dress and not been late that night
it's fate how
had I missed that elevator
had I missed this lovely bumpy ride
it's fate how
and had I never met you later
never felt you sleeping by my side
it's fate how
just like that elevator we go up and down
only air beneath our feet
it's fate how
many many years later and I haven't found
another lover to compete
VERSE
Look what you've done
love-struck and who could blame her
no one who's ever fell
the feeling she's got for him
they'll never fall like this again no no never
love should come with a disclaimer
they met on an elevator
he was going down
and she's was going up
CHORUS
"going up" repeat
excuse me please
please hold the door
stuck out his arm and he held it for her
he had pushed ground
and she pushed ten
so he went down
then up again
they laughed at two
past three past four
and they revealed
a little more and more
and by the time
past eight past nine
oh he could feel it
what fate had sealed
and they'd tell this story
over and over again
how fate how fate how fate
BRIDGE
"how fate how fate" repeat
if there'd been rain instead of clear skies
the thought of just how close the call
we could have almost lost it all it's fate
had the cab arrived in time and you had left with your umbrella
and not gone back to drop it off it's fate fate
OUTRO
"how fate how fate" repeat
had it been raining out, had it been raining out
"going up" repeat
she had him wait
he held the door
and she jumped on
and he saw more
he gave his hand
he smiled she smiled
and they could feel
what fate had sealed
