the tide is high
The Tide Is High (get The Feelin') is the second single of Atomic Kitten's second album,
Feels So Good. Following the chart-topping success of It's OK, the Kittens covered the
1980 Blondie hit and added their own poptastic flavour to it. The song went to become a
No.1 in the UK and Ireland, and a huge hit around Europe and Asia all through summer 2002.
The video for the song showed a heavily pregnant Tash Hamilton, who was then carrying her
first baby, Josh. Tash still did the initial promo shows for the song, but took her
well-deserved maternity leave a few weeks after.
The single is available on a 2-CD format and cassette. It is also available on Atomic
Kitten's album, Feels So Good, and their Greatest Hits.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Never give up.
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your number one,
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that,
Oh no.
I'm gonna be your number one,
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.
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 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,
Number one (my number one...)
Number one (number one...)
I'm gonna be your number one,
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your number one,
Number one (my number one...)
Number one (number one...)
Every girl wants you to be her man,
But I'll wait right here, till it's my turn,
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that,
Oh no.
But I'll wait right here, till 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 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,
Number one (my number one...)
Number one (gotta hold on...)
I'm gonna be your number one,
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your number one,
Number one (my number one...)
Number one (gotta hold on...)
Everytime that I get the feelin,
You give me something to believe in,
Everytime that I got you near me,
I know the way I want it to be,
But you know that 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.
