What A Girl Wants

What A Girl Wants

Music and lyrics by Shelly Peiken and Guy Roche

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms

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 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 being there for me

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 willing to give me more than

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for being there for me

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' around
With the one who always knew

What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And 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 just what I need

What you got is what I need
What you want is what I want

Oh baby, hold on it
Thank you, thank you for giving me what I need, what I want
