Intro
Verse 1
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 all pointing to the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
Refrain 1
I've got friends in highly low places
I'm standing on post and I'm posted up
Can't afford to lose them
I've got friends in highly low places
I'll go inside when I wanna party
(hold)
grab a girl and dance(Don't touch me)
Chorus 1
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Why do I put myself
in these situations?
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing
myself even though
I can't take it at all
Interlude
G--D
Verse 2
Girl who taught you
how to move like that
At this pace you're at
you're going way too fast
I, I saw you from
across the room
It's me vs every guy
It's your choice you choose
Refrain 2
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 to meet me
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Chorus 2
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Why do I put myself
in these situations?
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
I keep pushing
myself even though
I can't take it at all
Interlude
G--D
Bridge
You're worth losing
my self-esteem
Your clever words mean
nothing more to me
than a line I
heard in a movie
You're worth
losing my losing my
losing my self esteem
You're not worth
putting myself in
these situations
