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 (yeah)
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 knowin' 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 I want
is whatcha got
And whatcha got
is what I want

There was a time I was blind
I was so confused
I'd un away just to hide it all from you
But baby you knew me better
Than I knew myself-yeah
They say if you love something let it go
And 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 than

What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free
And I'm thanking you for knowin' 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

Oh baby
Oh darling
Thank you, thank yoooooooooooo-yeah yeah

Somebody sensitive, crazy, sexy, cool, like you-yeah
What a girl wants

Somebody who can't come and go, nobody, like you do
What a girl wants

You 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 knowin' exactly
What a girl wants
