*Jamaican/Cuban guy talking*
All / (Clay):
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
(I'm not the kinda guy who gives up just like that - oh no)
Verse 1-Tilky / (Clay)
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad (Oo oo oo)
But it's the way you do, the things you do to me
(I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that - oh no)
Chorus:
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one - number one
Verse 2-Tilky / (Clay):
Every boy wants you to be his girl (Oo oo oo)
But I'll wait my dear, till it's my turn
(I'm not the kinda guy who gives up just like that - oh no)
Chorus :
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one - number one
Verse 3-Tilky / (Clay)
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad (Oo oo oo)
But it's the way you do, the things you do to me
(I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that - oh no)
*Jamaican/Cuban guy singing*
All / (TJ):
Number one (number one)
Number one
All:
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Clay:
(I'm not the kind of guy who gives up just like that - oh no)
