I candy-coat and cover everything
But 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 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 (x2)

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 (x2)
