[Keri Hilson] 
The tide is high but I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number 1 
Number 1, number 1 

[Kardinal Offishall] 
She's just my part time lover 
Pretty little thing 
Nottin' I will never think about giving a ring 
Nottin' but a pretty to call my night fling 
Even though she want to be the queen to my king 
She ain't nottin but a word for my ginsing 
Someone I would use to bust my boxspring 
She woulda a numba one, not be bada bing 
Bad man not goin bother wit da wife, wife ting 
She gotta know she the girl on the side 
On my left on the rest but numba two on my mind 
There's no way she could ever be my girl 
But she steady trying [bad word] into my world 

[Keri Hilson] 
The tide is high but I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number 1 
Number 1, number 1 

[Kardinal Offishall] 
She just my trophy piece 
Or me hot, hot gal 
Never ever would I call her mrs. Offishall 
Never ever would I bring her around my fam 
She be cryin' on the phone when she knows who I am 
I'm Mr. Kardinal, voice to the people 
Blood they is family, and verses are lethal 
And I don't time for the play, play 
She's a good chick, yo 
But I'm married to the game 
Married to the fame 
Related to the paper 
I'm tryin to get my name put up on a sky scraper 
There's no way she could be my wife, 
But she steady trying [bad word] into my life 

[Keri Hilson] 
The tide is high but I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number 1 
Number 1, number 1 

Those other girls ain't nothing like me 
Just give me the chance and boy you'll see 
That I'm not the kinda girl who just gets down like that 
Oh no 

[Kardinal Offishall] 
On the real, I ain't goin free 
The fox to a lot of hound dogs on the hunt 
You need a push to a lotta cush rolling a blunt 
You the hottest at the dance but you ain't what I want 
I'm a business man, trying to get your business 
Just trying to work out your physical fitness 
There's no way you can get that ring 
When I hear all the hotty, hotties in the place sing 

[Keri Hilson] 
The tide is high but I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number 1 
Number 1, number 1 
The tide is high but I'm holding on 
I'm gonna be your number 1 
Number 1, number 1 

[Kardinal Offishall] 
Kardinal! 
Keri Hilson! 
Light it up!
