The Tide is High, The Paragons...

 

발장단을 맞추며 저절로 어깨가 들먹일 정도로 흥겨운 곡 'The Tide is High'는

혼성그룹 블론디(Blondie)에 의해 1980년에 폭발적인 인기몰이를 하게 된다.

 

2002년 비틀스의 고향 리버풀출신의 여성트리오 아토믹키튼이 리메이크하여 역시 큰 인기를 누렸는데

1967년 발표한 자메이카 출신의 5인조 보컬그룹 The Paragons의 곡이 원곡이라고...

The Tide is High  

 

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not that kinda girl who gives up just like that
Oh no!

It's not the thing 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 kinda 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
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda 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
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one

Everytime that I get the feeling
You give me something to believe in
Everytime 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 pleassure

Every girl wants you to be her man
But i'll wait right here till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that
Oh no!

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be you're number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be you're number one

Everytime that I get the feeling
You give me something to believe in
And everytime that I got you near me
I know how 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 pleassure

The tide is high but I'm holding on....
