Lyrics
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kinda 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 kinda 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

Ev'ry girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda 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, number one

Ev'ry girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda 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
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
