Lyrics

The tide is high but I'm holdin' on I'm gonna be your number one I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that Oh, no It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad But it's the way you do the things you do to me I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holdin' on I'm gonna be your number one Number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one, number one (I'm gonna be your number one) The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one
