Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The tide is high but I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that

Oh no

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

The tide is high but I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

Number one

[Verse 4]

Every girl wants you to be her man

But I'll wait, my dear, till it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that

Oh no

[Verse 5]

The tide is high but I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

Number one, number one

[Verse 6]

Every girl wants you to be her man

But I'll wait, my dear, till it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that

Oh no

[Verse 7]

The tide is high but I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

Number one, number one

[Verse 8]

The tide is high but I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

The tide is high, I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one, your number one

[Verse 9]

The tide is high, 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
