The Tide Is High
Tiscore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I′m not the kind of 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 kind of 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
I′m not the kind of 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
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

Every time that I get the feeling
You give me something to believe in
Every time that I got you near me
I know the way that I want it to be
But you know 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's pleasure

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait right here ′til it′s my turn
I'm not the kind of 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
I′m not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on (oh, yeah)
I′m gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, baby




Oh, oh, ooh, yeah
Alright, oh, oh, oh
