Tide is high but I'm holding on. I'm gonna be your number one. Every girl wants you to be her man, but I'll wait, my dear, 'till it's my turn. I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, no, no, oh. Tide is high but I'm holding on. I'm gonna be your number one. Number one. Number one. 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, no no. No you're not, no you're not. Like that, no, no, no, no. The tide is high but I'm holding on. I'm gonna be your number one. Number one. Number one. Rasta! Tide is high but I'm holding on. Tide is high but I'm holding on. Ah ha ahh ya ya ya! Ah ha ooh ooh hoo hoo yoo hoo! Tide is high! Tide is high! Holding on! Holding on!
