[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Every man wants you to be his girl
But I'll wait, my dear, 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of man who give up just like that
No

[Chorus]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

[Post-Chorus]
Number one
Number one

[Verse 2]
It's not the things you do that really hurts me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
I'm not the kind of man who give up just like that
No
[Refrain]
The tide is high

[Verse 1]
Every man wants you to be his girl
But I'll wait, my dear, 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kind of man who give up just like that
No

[Chorus]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

[Outro]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
