What A Girl Needs Lyrics
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 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
What a girl needs, what a girl wants
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to 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 someone, 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 needs, what a girl wants
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
A girl needs somebody sensitive but tough
Somebody there when the going gets rough
Every night he'll be keeping it up for just one woman
Somebody cool but tender too
Somebody baby, just like you
Keep me hanging around with the one who always knew
What a girl needs, what a girl wants
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
Like a rock, you waited so patiently
While I got it together
While I figured 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
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
Strong enough to move over and give me space
While I got it together
While I figured it out
They say if you love someone, 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
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
Somebody there when the going gets rough
Every night he'll be keeping it up for just one woman
Somebody cool but tender too
Somebody baby, just like you
Keep me hanging around with the one who always knew
Whatever makes you happy makes me strong
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl need, what a girl wants
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me
