Lyrics:
The tide is high but I'm holding 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
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
(Ah)
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
Every girl wants you to be her man
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
(Ah)
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
Every girl wants you to be her man
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
(Ah)
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, 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, your number one
(I'm gonna be your number one)
