The Tide Is High
Riding the Waves of Love: Embracing Resilience and Devotion
Lyrics
The tide is high but I'm holding on
The speaker acknowledges a challenging situation ("the tide is high") but remains resilient and determined.
I'm gonna be your number one
The speaker expresses a desire to be the most important person to someone else.
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that, no oh oh oh
The speaker emphasizes their persistence and refusal to give up easily.
It's not the things you do, that really hurts me bad
The actions of the other person do not cause as much pain as the manner in which they are done.
But it's the way you do the things, you do to me
The way the other person behaves towards the speaker is what hurts them deeply.
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that no oh oh oh
Reiterating the refusal to easily give up or surrender.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
Despite the challenges (symbolized by the high tide), the speaker remains resilient.
I'm gonna be your number one
Reasserting the desire to be the most significant person to someone else.
Number one, number one
Emphasizing the desire to be recognized as the top priority.
Every man wants you to be his girl
Other men desire the person the speaker wants, but they are willing to wait for their chance.
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
The speaker will patiently wait for their turn to have a relationship with the person they desire.
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that, no oh oh oh
Stressing once again the determination to persist and not give up easily.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
Despite facing difficulties, the speaker remains steadfast and determined.
I'm gonna be your number one, number one
Reaffirming the desire to be the most important person to someone else.
Every man wants you to be his girl
Reiteration of the fact that others also desire the person the speaker wants.
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
The speaker's willingness to patiently wait for their opportunity.
I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that, no oh oh oh
Insisting on their determination not to give up easily.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
Despite the persisting challenges, the speaker remains resolute.
I'm gonna be your number one, number one, number one
Emphasizing the desire to be the primary person in someone's life multiple times.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
Reiterating the speaker's resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
I'm gonna be your number one
Restating the desire to be the most important person to someone else.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
Reiterating the speaker's persistence and refusal to easily give up.
I'm gonna be your number one
Reasserting the desire to be the primary person in someone's life.
