"Goin' up" she said uh huh Just as we were startin' to climb together Oh oh lookin' up I said uh huh "Maybe I could see you tonight?" She said "never!" ooh ooh I was out of luck But ten seconds later somehow we got stuck in that elevator Heaven on the 7th floor (Hey baby) Heaven on the 7th floor (I ain't complainin') But I've never been so high before So please don't rescue me Never set me free Hey, hey, hey "We're alone" I said uh huh Looks like we could be here all night Together ooh ooh "There's a phone" she said uh huh Gonna have us out in five minutes' time whatever "Please could you make it ten" I told the operator I'm havin' so much fun in this elevator (repeat chorus) And as the Musak played sooner or later I knew We'd fall in love in that elevator
