I wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe

You waited so patiently

While I got it together

While I figured it out

I looked but I never touched

'Cause in my heart there was a picture of us

Holdin' hands makin' plans

And now I'm wanna say

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

I was blind

I was so confused

I run away just to hide it all from you

But baby you knew me better than

I knew myself

If you love something and you 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 willin'

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

What a girl wants what a girl needs

Sensitive courageous

Sexy cool like you baby

What a girl wants

What a girl needs

You gotta let a girl know how much you

Care about her I swear

You're the one who always knew

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
