Elevator Lyrics


Hey girl
You’re coming with me
Coming with me
Hey girl
You’re coming to me
Coming to me
Hey girl
You’re coming with me
Coming with me
Hey girl
You’re coming to me
Come on
Talk to me, girl
Let me tell you
Got you stuck
On my elevator
Get up
On my el-el-el-el-el

Hey, my first floor stuck
Wanna golddigga woman
Money cash flow all big faced honies
Fighting on the floor, got them b-boys running
Shorty got both broke can’t see what’s coming
With them apple bottoms, with them apple bottoms honey
Dolce and Gabbana and she get up on my money
Louis that bitch when she vindy in the money
See them karats on the bitch, now she pimp bugs bunny
Used to date Kanye, now she want me
While I got the juice wanna take my OJ
It ain't her birthday but her name on a cake
If I ever play for ookie grade A
Got you stuck
On my elevator
Get it up
On my elevator
Check it out
My first floor
Stuck on the golddigga
Second floor
Stuck on the dime piece
Third floor
Stuck on the hoodrat
Fourth floor
Freak it I don’t know cuz
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my el-el-el-el-el
She got a nail kit
She got a hair kit
She got a Gucci bag
A brand new outfit
Stuck on my elevator
She on the second floor
Now I want you to break it down
DJ, turn it up some more
Hey, dime piece girl turned to Internet hottie
Little momma got that top model body
South Beach preach goin' the back of that Ducati
I bet you that brand new Ferrari
Got you stuck
On my elevator
Get it up
On my elevator
Check it out
My first floor
Stuck on the golddigga
Second floor
Stuck on the dime piece
Third floor
Stuck on the hoodrat
Fourth floor
Freak it I don’t know cuz
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my el-el-el-el-el
Hey, my third floor stuck on a hoodrat charm
Cut, take boy, Hollyhood act charm
Short tennis skirt, now she got me in the zone
Tattoo, tight broach, bump the low ring tone
Then the ghetto booty, play the ghetto booty on her
Roll up our cuties, don’t smoke Arizona
One night stand, one night with the clan
One night, one time broke her off ten grand
Project all the way, gutter all day
[Incomprehensible] while we play
Shawty don't fake, she’ll put it in your face
Three stories while them hoodrats play
Got you stuck
On my elevator
Get it up
On my elevator
Check it out
My first floor
Stuck on the golddigga
Second floor
Stuck on the dime piece
Third floor
Stuck on the hoodrat
Fourth floor
Freak it I don’t know cuz
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my ele-el-elevator
This girl is, she’s stuck on my el-el-el-el-el

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Fountains of Wayne is an American power pop band, formed in 1995.
(not to be confused with Fountains)

The band name was taken from the name of a lawn-ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey, not far from Montclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band's bassist and cofounder Adam Schlesinger (it has since gone out of business). According to Songfacts, there were prominent fountains there.

The band was formed by Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood. The two first met as freshmen at Williams College and began playing music together in various bands. The two eventually went their separate ways with Collingwood forming the Mercy Buckets in Boston and Schlesinger forming Ivy in New York City. The duo initially set out to work together in the early '90s under various band monikers (including Pinwheel and The Wallflowers), and recorded a full album's worth of demos in 1993. Although never released, the Pinwheel demos are widely bootlegged by fans and display a very different (and far more earnest) version of the pair's songwriting, though several songs from this period would be re-tooled and appear on later releases. After failing to get Pinwheel off the ground, the two met up once again during the mid '90s and formed Fountains of Wayne. A demo eventually landed the two a deal with Atlantic Records and in 1996 they released their self titled debut. The album spawned the singles Radiation Vibe and Sink to the Bottom which received airplay, but it was Schlesinger's song entitled That Thing You Do! which became a hit being used as the lead track for the Tom Hanks film of the same name. "That Thing You Do!" also brought Schlesinger an Oscar nomination and an RIAA gold certification for the hit soundtrack.

Along with guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young, the band toured the world extensively behind the album playing alongside bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins and The Lemonheads.

In 1999, the band returned with their second album, Utopia Parkway, a loosely-based concept album about life in the American suburbs in the late 1990s. Unfortunately, a much-changed radio climate left little room in playlists for Fountains of Wayne's snarky power-pop, and the album, along with its three singles Denise, Red Dragon Tattoo, and Troubled Times, sank without much notice. The following year, the band was mostly quiet, contributing a song each to a soundtrack and a compilation (Too Cool for School to the "Scary Movie" soundtrack and California Sex Lawyer to the third installment of the International Pop Overthrow series). They were dropped by Atlantic soon thereafter.

The band spent much of the early 2000s in seclusion, occasionally rejoining to record or play an occasional gig, but mostly Schlessinger was focusing on work with Ivy and Collingwood founded an alt.country band near his Western Massachusetts home called The Gay Potatoes. In addition, the band wrote and performed the theme song to the popular Comedy Central program "Crank Yankers," and contributed a cover of The Kinks "Better Days" to a tribute album. The song was also later featured prominently in a scene of the 2004 remake of "The Manchurian Candidate." During this time, the band's stature only grew in indie pop circles, raising expectations high for the release of their next album.

Welcome Interstate Managers, Fountains of Wayne's third record and first for Virgin, was released in June of 2003. Preceeded by the single and video for the Cars-ish Stacy's Mom, the song became a surprise top 20 hit on the strength of its video--a send-up of 1980s teen comedies like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"--which starred Rachel Hunter as Stacy's Mom. The video went into heavy rotation on MTV, pushing the album to become Fountains of Wayne's most successful with sales exceeding 400,000 units.

Like most bands who have a major hit driven by a clever video, follow-up singles did not fare as well. Despite a similarly-clever video for Mexican Wine, the single failed to take off after MTV banned the video due to a scene where two underage girls lip-synch the words to the chorus, a reference to drinking tequila. Third single Hey Julie initially made only a minor dent on AAA and Hot AC format stations, but it was later featured in "Scrubs" and other TV shows and grew in stature over time, becoming something of a sleeper hit. During this time, the band also wrote a series of short, almost They Might Be Giants-styled songs for a short-lived VH1 TV series titled "Hey Joel!," which was written by critic Joel Stein. The show was canceled before it aired in the United States and the songs were never released.

The song named "Red Dragon Tattoo" was also featured in the 2004 series "Kingdom Hospital", based on a novel by Stephen King, that aired on BBC.

In 2005, the band issued the 2-disc Out-Of-State Plates, a compilation rounding up the band's various import-only B-sides as well as several new songs. Maureen was released as a single yet received little attention.

The band's fourth proper album, titled Traffic and Weather, was released April 3, 2007. One abandoned track from these sessions, a novelty throwaway titled Monster House that was written for the movie of the same name but not used, was leaked in advance of the album's release via the band's MySpace page. "Traffic and Weather" met with typically strong reviews but fewer sales than its predecessor, although the single and video for Someone To Love made a minor impact.

In early 2009, the band embarked on a small tour where they began to debut some new songs from an as-yet-untitled fifth album. Progress was slow, however, and other than some scattered shows the band dropped almost entirely out of view for two years. In late 2010, the band announced that they were now without a label but that they had completed their as-yet-untitled fifth album, which they were hoping to release sometime in 2011 once they found a new label. During this time they gave away one new free song via their website. Song of the Passaic was written for an NPR segment using a poem about New Jersey's famed, industrial Passaic River.

In May 2011, the band has announced that their fifth album, Sky Full of Holes will be released on August 1st, 2011 on Lojinx in Europe, August 2nd, 2011 on YepRoc in North America and on Warner in Japan. Two singles have been released in advance of the album itself: Richie and Ruben in May 2011, followed by Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart the following month.
