The tide is high but I'm holdin' on 
I'm gonna be your number one 
I'm not the kinda guy who gives up 
Just like that - oh no 
 
It's not the things you do that 
Tease and hurt me bad - Who who who 
But it's the way you do the things you do to me 
I'm not the kinda guy who gives up just like that - oh no 
 
[Chorus:] 
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on 
I'm gonna be your number one 
Number one - number one 
The tide is high but I'm movin' on 
I'm gonna be your number one 
Number one - number one 
 
Every boy wants you to be his girl 
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn 
I'm not the kinda guy 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 
 
Every boy wants you for his girl 
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn 
I'm not the kinda guy who gives up just like that - oh no
