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, come on)

I wanna thank you for giving me time to breath
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 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 baby)
Oh darling (oh darling)
Thank you, thank you boy

Tell me 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, one girl, one girl
Somebody cool but real tender too (somebody cool...)
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 and sets you free...
Ooh, and 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 all I need)

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free (oh is all I need)
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me (oh is all I want for)
What a girl wants, what a girl needs (oh yeah yeah yeah)
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 a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...

Oh baby
Oh darling
Thank you, thank you
