[Intro: Natasha, Jenny]
Never give up
Yeah, yeah
Never give up

[Chorus: All, Natasha]
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, oh

[Verse 1: Liz, Natasha]
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 (No)
Oh, no, oh

[Chorus: All, Natasha]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one (Ah, ah)
The tide is high, but I'm holding on (I'm gonna be, yeah)
I'm gonna be your number one (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: All, Natasha]
Number one (My number one)
Number one (Number one)

[Verse 2: Jenny]
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, oh

[Chorus: All, Natasha]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on (Yeah)
I'm gonna be your number one (The tide is high)
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: All, Natasha]
Number one (Number one) (Your number one)
Number one (Get up now)

[Bridge: All, Natasha]
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 (Yeah)
I’m gonna make it happen somehow (Yeah, yeah)
And you know I can take the pressure
A moment's pain for a lifetime's pleasure
(Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure)

[Breakdown: Natasha]
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, oh (Not gonna let you go)

[Chorus: All, Natasha]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on (Yeah)
I'm gonna be your number one (Yeah, yeah)
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one (The tide is high, I'm moving on and on)

[Bridge: All, Natasha]
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 (Hey, yeah)

[Outro: All]
The tide is high, but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

Atomic Kitten

Atomic Kitten are an English girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 and put together by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. The original line-up consisted of Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range. Range was later replaced by Natasha Hamilton and eventually went on to join Sugababes.

The group’s debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. “Whole Again” (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful song when it topped the UK singles chart for four weeks and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost’s vocals. In the UK, the album hit number one, going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.
