for giving me time to breathe
Like a rock, you waited so patiently
While I got it together, oh
While I figured it out (yeah-yeah)
I only looked but I never touched
'Cause in my heart was a picture of us
Holdin' hands, makin' 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 giving it to me
There was a time I was blind,
I was so confused (yeah-yeah)
Ran away just to hide it all from you
But baby, you knew me better
They say if you love something, let it go
If it comes back it's yours
It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure
And you're ready and willin'
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 to me,
(yeah) What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Somebody sensitive, courageous,
What a girl wants, what a girl needs, oh,
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
You let a girl know how much you
You're the one who always knew
You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew
(Ooh, I'm thanking you for being there...)
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
(Whatever keeps me in your arms, that's...)
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
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
