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 NEVER TOUCHED
'CAUSE IN MY HEART WAS A PICTURE OF US
HOLDIN' HANDS, HAKIN' 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 YOU 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 MOVER 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'
