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
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly
