What a Girl Wants

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

(Yeah, c’mon)

I want to thank you for giving me time to breathe
Like a rock you waited so patiently
While I got it together, mmm
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

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, boy

A girl needs somebody sensitive but 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
Who 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, 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

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

What you got is what I need
All that you want, what I want

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

(I turn around there, whenever you’re not there)
