## Lyrics

**Nicole (with Jessica):**

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)

**Melody:**

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

**Nicole with Darkchild:**

(**Nicole and Melody:** 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

**Nicole (Darkchild):**

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)

**Nicole (with Jessica):**

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

**Melody:**

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

**Nicole with Darkchild:**

(**Nicole and Melody:** 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

**Nicole:**

Oh if there's any man who understands what I'm saying

Won't you help me

Say yeah, yeah, yeah

**Melody:**

Oh there's gotta be some women who feeling the way I'm feeling

Say yeah, yeah, yeah

**Nicole:**

I'll take the blame if it that'll make this go stop

**Melody:**

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

**Nicole:**

But we gotta find a way to break down these walls baby

I'm waitin' on you, stop waitin' on me

Damn this elevator!

**Nicole with Darkchild:**

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

**Nicole (Darkchild):**

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
