[Intro]
Bb
 
[Verse]
Bb Gm
I just want some girl to love me back
Eb Gm/D Eb Gm/D
Tell me I'm her only and take away the lonely
Bb Gm
This deep love in my heart can't go to waste
Eb Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
Eb Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
Eb
Then at least, God,
Gm/D Cm
let me get loved back by a girl.
 
[Verse]
Bb Gm
I just want some girl to talk to me
Eb Gm/D
And tell me that I'm different,
Eb Gm/D
or say that I'm the same
Bb Gm
I don't care what she thinks, just think of me
Eb Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
Eb Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
Eb
Then at least, God,
Ebmaj7/D Cm
let me get talked to by a girl
 
[Chorus]
Bb Cm
This is what I want, this is what I need
Eb Bb/D
If I ask real nice, will you give her to me?
Bb Cm
If I just say "Please, this is what I need."
Eb Ebmaj7
But if I can't have that, well then at least
 
[Verse]
Bb Gm
I just want some girl to look my way
Eb Gm/D Eb
And see that I am better than the others,
Gm/D
that I matter
Bb Gm
In her life, I wanna be a friend
Eb Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
Eb Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
Eb
Then at least, God,
Gm/D Cm/C
let me get noticed by a girl
 
[Bridge]
Eb/G Bb
In this great world, we just plan to live
Cm Cm/D Eb
But you can't plan love, love's from above
Gm Bb
And if I do have a choice,
Eb Gm/D
I'll just put one foot in front of the other
Eb Gm/D
I'll say one word after another
Cm
In my voice
Eb
If I have a choice
 
[Verse]
Bb Gm
I just want some girl beneath my feet
Eb Gm/D
To tell me I'm her king and then beg me for a ring
Bb Gm
And I want her to be afraid of me
Eb Gm/D
And think that I might leave her and
Eb Gm/D
that I will not believe her
Bb Gm
When she says that she loves and cares for me
Eb Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
Eb Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
Eb Ebmaj7/D Cm
Then at least, God, let me get worshipped by a girl
 
[Bridge]
Eb/G Bb
In this great world, we just plan to live
Cm Cm/D Eb
But you can't plan love, love's from above
 
[Chorus]
Bb Cm
This is what I want, this is what I need
Eb Bb/D
If I ask real nice, will you give her to me?
Bb Cm
If I just say "Please, this is what I need."
Eb Ebmaj7
But if I can't have that, well then at least
 
[Outro]
Bb
This is what I want (this is what I want)
Cm
This is what I say (this is what I say)
Bb
And this is what I pray
 
Bb Eb
