The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But it's the way you do the things you do to me
(Ah)
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
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
(Ah)
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
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
(Whoo, whoo, whoo)
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
(Ah)
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
Number one, number one, number one
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
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, your number one
(Im gonna be your number one)
Perhaps the first film to put a human face on the AIDS epidemic, Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as "Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder," we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn't-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today. The title of the film comes from the New York Times' refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as "Longtime Companions" of the deceased.
