So you got it right there in the palm of your hand
Too busy with the sun and the sea and the sand
To think about a so and so like me
What you gonna do when the sun goes cold
And lines on your face say you're getting too old
To be messing with that kind of company

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
'Cause when they've had enough of your pretty face
When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat
They'll cut you down
And when you're down
I won't be around

Everybody knows that you got a stack
They're saying that you made it on your back
I remember when you gave it all to me
You're looking like you really got it made
Like it's never gonna rain on your charade
'Cause now you give it all away for free

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
'Cause when they've had enough of your pretty face
When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat
They'll cut you down
And when you're down
I won't be around

What you gonna do when your lover boys
Have simply had enough of all your toys
And they're looking for another place to play
Baby, when you find you're all alone
And you're waiting all night for the telephone
Wishing that you'd never gone away

And all your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
'Cause when they've had enough of your pretty face
When they've had their fun
They will leave you flat
They will let you fall
At the drop of a hat
They'll cut you down

All your friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
Friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
Friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down (Let you down)
Friends in high places
You know they're gonna let you down
