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
  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 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 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
    Somebody sensitive and tough
  Somebody there when the going gets rough
  Every night he'll be giving his love
  To just one girl, one girl, one
  Somebody cool but real tender too
  Somebody, baby, just like you
  Can keep me hanging around with
  The one who always knew
  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
  What a girl wants, what a girl needs
  Whatever keeps me in your arms
  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
  What a girl wants, what a girl needs
  Whatever keeps me in your arms
  And I'm thanking you for being there for me
    And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly...
  And I'm thanking you for being there for me...
