• She's blood, flesh and bone
  No tucks or silicone
  She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
  But somehow I can't believe that anything should happen
  I know where I belong and nothing's gonna happen, yeah
  
  'Cause she's so high
  High above me, she's so lovely
  She's so high
  Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
  Da-da-da-da
  She's so high
  High above me
  
  First class and fancy-free
  She's high society
  She's got the best of everything
  What could a guy like me ever really offer?
  She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother? Ah-ha
  
  'Cause she's so high
  High above me, she's so lovely
  She's so high
  Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
  Da-da-da-da
  She's so high
  High above me
  
  She comes to speak to me
  I freeze immediately
  'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
  'Cause somehow I can't believe that anything should happen
  I know where I belong and nothing's gonna happen
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  
  'Cause she's so high
  High above me, she's so lovely
  She's so high
  Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
  Oh yeah, yeah
  She's so high
  High above me Writer/s: Talmage Bachman

• Broncobuff from SeattleThe artist Tal Bachman, his dad is Randy Bachman, Randy of The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Great song, but 25 years old now... what's Tal doing?
• Nathaniel Akpan from LondonI’m just thinking of this song because I’ve listened to this song so many times a lots of times I’ve listened to it.
• Vietnam Vet John from WisconsinI’ve seen hate, death, and destruction and enjoy foot tapping songs about love and happiness. She’s So High and She’s Out Of My League make me feel wonderful about the woman I love.
• Tommyo from CaliforniaThis might be the ear wormiest chorus I've ever heard
• Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenThe song worked well in “She’s Out of My League,” where an airport security geek sets his sights on a goddess. He knows she’s far up in the dating pecking order, but he had must to try to meet and date her.
• Erik from NycJust watched Wicca Envy. This song is not in it.
• Michelle from Santa Cruz I remember a different girl in the video. She was heavier. I remember thinking how cool it was that they didn’t have a heroin-skinny mode for the video, but a full figured woman who was also beautiful. Am I missing something?
• Joe from 49417What's the point of having wings if you still gotta take the stairs?
• Harold from University Park, Pa@ Moto
  
  Yvonne Scio
• Mike from Santa Barbara, CaThe title originally had me thinking the song was about a stoner.
• Hannah from Fargo, Ndthis song gets too much radio play if you ask me! I liked it a long time ago, but they were always playing it!
• Moto from Pittsburgh, PaWho is the gal in this video?
