What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Yeah, c'mon!

I wanna thank you for givin' me time to breathe

Like a rock, you waited so patiently

While I got it together

While I figured it out (yeah, yeah)

I only looked, but I never touched

'Cause in my heart was a picture of us

Holdin' hands, makin' plans

And it's lucky for me, you understand

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy, sets you free

And I'm thankin' you for knowin' exactly

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And I'm thankin' you for givin' it to me

What I want, is whatcha got

And whatcha got, is what I want

There was a time I was blind, I was so confused (yeah, yeah)

Ran away just to hide it all from you

But baby, you knew me better than I knew myself

They say if you love somethin', let it go (let it go)

If it comes back, it's yours

That's how ya know

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

And you're ready and willin' to give me more than

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy, sets you free

And I'm thankin' you for knowin' exactly

Whatever keeps me in your arms

Somebody sensitive, crazy, sexy, cool like you

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

And whatcha got, is what I want

What a girl wants (you're so right)

What a girl needs (you're so right)

You let a girl know how much ya care about her, I swear

You're the one who always knew

You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

Oh, I'm thankin' you for bein' there for me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

Whatever keeps me in your arms, is what I need

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
