I candy coat and cover everything
that I'm still hiding underneath
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
A thousand faces looking up at me
Hands are pointing to the ceiling
Oh what a feeling

I've got friends in highly low places
I'll stand up push it and push it up
can't afford to lose now
I've got friends in highly low places
I'll go inside when I wanna party, grab a girl and dance
(Don't touch me!)

Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though I can't take it at all

Girl, who taught you how to move like that?
At this pace you're at you're going way to fast
I, I saw you from across the room
It's me versus every guy
It's your choice you choose

I've got friends in highly low places
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
And maybe baby
You can rise above the rest and meet me yeah

Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though I can't take it at all

Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though I can't take it at all

You're worth losing my self esteem
Your clever words mean nothing more to me
than a lot I've heard in a movie
You're worth losing my, losing my, losing my self esteem
You're not worth putting myself in these situations

Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh whoa whoa oh
I keep pushing myself even though I can't take it at all
