Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that
No
[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 kinda man who gives up just like that
No
[Verse 3]
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
[Verse 4]
Every man wants you to be his girl
But I'll wait, my dear, till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that
No
[Verse 5]
Every man wants you to be his girl
But I'll wait, my dear, till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that
No
[Verse 6]
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
