What a girl wants, what a girl needs

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

I wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe

Like a rock, you waited so patiently,

while I got it together

While I figured it out

I only looked, but I never touched

'Cause in my heart was a picture of us

Holding hands, making plans

And lucky for me, you understand

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free...

And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And I'm thanking you for being there for me

A weaker man might have walked away

But you had faith strong enough to move

Over and understand while I got it together

While I figured it out

They say, "If you love something, let it go

If it comes back, it's yours; that's how you know."

It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure

And you're ready and willing to give me more

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free

And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And I'm thanking you for being there for me

Somebody sensitive and tough

Somebody there when the going gets rough

Every night he'll be giving his love

To just one girl, one girl, one

Somebody cool but real tender too

Somebody, baby, just like you

Can keep me hanging around with

The one who always knew

And I'm thanking you

For being there for me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free...

Whatever keeps me in your arms

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free...

And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And I'm thanking you for being there for me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free

And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly
