What a girl
Christina Aguilera Lyrics

What a girl wants, what a girl needs,
Christina desires things that bring her happiness and give her freedom.

Whatever makes me happy and sets you free.
She wants things that make her happy and allow her to be herself, while also allowing her partner the same freedom.

Whatever keeps me in your arms.
The things that make her happy also keep her close to her partner.

And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly,
She is grateful that her partner understands her needs and wants.

Like a rock you waited so patiently, while I got it together.
Her partner waited for her while she worked on herself, supporting and being a steady presence in her life.

While I figured it out, I only looked but I never touched,
Christina didn't pursue other options while she was trying to figure out what she wanted.

'Cause in my heart was a picture of us,
She had a strong vision of her and her partner being together.

Holding hands, making plans,
She imagines a future with her partner filled with love and support.

And it's lucky for me, you understand.
She is fortunate that her partner understands her vision and goals.

A weaker man might have walked away, but you had faith
Her partner was patient and had faith in their relationship, even when things were tough.

Strong enough to move over and understand, while I got it together.
Her partner was able to adapt and be supportive during times when Christina needed to work on herself.

While I figured it out, they say, "If you love something let it go.
Christina and her partner both understood that sometimes letting go is necessary in order for a relationship to grow and become stronger.

If it comes back it's yours, and that's how you know.
By letting go, they came to the realization that they truly belong together.

It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure."
They both have a deep commitment to each other and their relationship.

And you're ready and willing to give me more than
Christina's partner is willing to go above and beyond to support her.

Somebody sensitive and tough;
She describes her partner as someone who is both caring and strong.

Somebody there when the going gets rough;
Her partner is a constant source of support and comfort when things are challenging.

Every night, he'll be giving his love
Her partner is always there for her, showing his love consistently.

To just one girl, one girl, one.
Her partner is devoted to only her, and she feels special because of it.

Somebody cool but real tender too,
Her partner has a great balance of being both chill and affectionate.

Somebody, baby, just like you
She is grateful to have found a partner who is so perfect for her.

Can keep me hangin' around with the one who always knew.
She feels lucky that her partner always had faith in their relationship and knew that they belonged together.

I'm thankin' you for being there for me.
Christina is grateful to her partner for their support and love throughout their relationship.
