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
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 thankin 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
Yeah yeah

A weaker man might have walked away
But you had faith
Strong enough to move over and give me space
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 willin´
To give me more than

What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I´m thankin 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
Yeah yeah

A girl needs somebody sensitive but tough
Somebody there when the goin´ gets rough
Every night he´ll be giving his love
To just one girl
Somebody cool but real tender too
Somebody, baby, just like you
Can keep me hangin´ round
With the one who always knew

What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I´m thankin 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
Yeah yeah
