Oh yeah
Oh yeah

I wanna thank you for givin' me time to breathe
Like a rock you waited so patiently
While I got it together
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 thankin' you for knowin' exactly

What a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thankin' you for givin' it to me

What I want
Is what you got
And what you got
Is what I want

There was a time I was blind I was so confused
I ran away just to hide it all from you
But baby you knew me better, oh
Than I knew myself, ooh
They say, "If you love something let it go
If it comes back it's yours and 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
