What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets u free.
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking u for being there for me.

Like a rock u waited so patiently, while I got it together.
While I figured it out, I only looked but I never touched,
'Cause in my hart-, hart was a picture of us:
Holding hands, making plans,
And it's lucky for me, u understand.

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets u free.
And I'm thanking u for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking u for being there for me.

A weaker man might have walked away, but u had faith
Strong enough to verplaats over and understand, while I got it together.
While I figured it out, they say, "If u love something let it go.
If it comes back it's yours, and that's how u know.
It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure."
And you're ready and willing to give me meer [than]....

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets u free.
And I'm thanking u for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking u 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 hangin' around with the one who always knew.
I'm thankin' u for being there for me.

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever makes me happy and sets u free.
And I'm thanking u for knowing exactly...
What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Whatever keeps me in your arms.
And I'm thanking u for being there for me.
