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.

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,
Grab a girl and dance (don't touch me)

[Chorus:]
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 your at you're going way too 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

[Chorus x2:]
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 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

[Chorus:]
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
