Never give up 
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 
But it's the way you do the things 
You do to me 
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 
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 
But I'll wait right here 
'Til it's my turn 
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 
The tide is high 
But I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number one 

Number one 
Number one 

Everytime that I get the feeling 
You give me something to believe in 
Everytime that I got you near me 
I know the way that I want it to be 
But you know that I'm gonna take my chance now 
I'm gonna make it happen somehow 
And you know I can take the pressure 
A moment's pain for a lifetime pleasure 

Every girl wants you to be her man

The tide is high
