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 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 giving it to me

There was time when I was so blind, I was so confused
Ran away just to hide it all from you
But baby you knew me better,
Than I knew myself

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 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 giving it to me

(What a girl wants, what a girl needs)
Is somebody sensitive, crazy, sexy, cool like you
(What a girl wants, what a girl needs)
(What a girl wants, what a girl needs)
You let a girl know how much you
Care about her I swear, you're the one who always knew
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)
(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 giving it)
