By Christina Aguilera
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Yeah, c'mon
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 it's lucky for me you understand
Chorus
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy 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 giving 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
Ran away just to hide it all from you
But, baby, you knew me better
Than I knew myself
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
Than...
Chorus
(
Bridge:)
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Somebody sensitive, courageous, sexy, cool--like you
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
What you got is what I want
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
It's all right, it's okay
You let a girl know how much you care about her
I swear you're the one who always knew
You knew, you knew, you knew
Ooh, oh,
I'm thanking you for being there for me
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
(
Whatever keeps me in your arms is what I need)(
Chorus
