What a girl wants, what a girl needs (X2) 
Yeah c'mon 
Oooh yeah, oh yeah 

I wanna thank you 
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: 
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 givin' it to me. 

What I want, is what you got 
And what you got, is what I want 

Now all the time, I was blind, I was so confused (yeah, yeah). 
Ran away just to hide it all from you 
But baby u knew me better, than I knew myself 
Say if you love something, let it go 
If [bad word] back it's yours, that's how you know 
It's for keeps, yeah it's for sure 
If you're ready, you're 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 givin' it to me. 

What a girl wants, what a girl needs, 
Somebody sensitive, crazyycool like you. 
What a girl wants, what a girl needs, 
Somebody who [bad word] and put arm 'round me like you. 
What a girl wants (it's alright), what a girl needs (it's ok), 
You let a girl know how much you, care about her 
I swear, you're the one who always 
knewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (what a girl wants, what a girl needs, whatever makes me happy sets you free) 

Oooh 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 is what I neeeeeeeeeed. 

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,
