Tabbed for piano. Not sure if the Gm/D is actually an Ebmaj7/D. [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
