  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 o-o-oh

It's not the things you do that really hurts me bad (oo-oo-ooh)
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just               w/ (aaah)
Like that, no o-o-oh

  I'm gonna be your number one

Every man wants you to be his girl
But I'll wait, my dear, 'til it's my turn
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just
Like that, no o-o-oh
