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

The tide is high

But I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one

number one

(number one)

number one

Every girl wants

You to be her man

But I'll wait my hear

'Til 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

The tide is high

But I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one

number one

(number one)

number one

Every time that I get

the feeling

You give me something

to believe in

Every time that I got

you near me

I know the way that

I want it to be

But you know that

I'm gonna take

my chance now

I'm gonna make

it happen somehow

And you know I can

take the pressure

A moment's pain for

a lifetime pleasure

Every girl wants you to be her man

But I'll wait right here

'Til 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

The tide is high

But I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one

Every time that I get

the feeling

You give me something

to believe in

Every time that I got

you near me

I know the way that

I want it to be

But you know that

I'm gonna take

my chance now

I'm gonna make

it happen somehow

And you know I can

take the pressure

A moment's pain for

a lifetime pleasure
