What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms

Yeah, come on
Ooh, ooh, yeah

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 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 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

Ooh, oh, yeah

A weaker man might have walked away
But you had faith strong enough
To move over and give me space
While I got it together
Yeah, while I figured it out

They say if you love something
Let it go
If it comes back it's yours
And that's how you know

It's for keeps
Yeah, it's for sure
And you're ready and willing
To give me more than

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for
Being there for me

Oh, baby, oh, darling
Thank you, thank you

A girl needs somebody sensitive but tough
Somebody there when the going gets rough
Every night he'll be giving his love
(He'll be giving his love)
To just one girl (to one girl, oh)

Somebody cool but real tender too
Somebody, baby, just like you
Can keep me hanging around
With the one who always knew

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
Oh, oh, I'm thanking you
For being 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, oh

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
(Always what I need, always what I want)
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
(What I need, what I want
(You've got, yeah, yeah)
And I'm thanking you for being there

Oh baby, oh darling
I thank you, thank you
For giving me what I need
And for what I want

Oh, oh, oh...yeah, yeah
I turn around, yeah
Whenever you're not there....
