"What More Could I Ever Need" is a deleted song from the film, Tangled, originally written as Rapunzel's opening song.

While the lyrics of this song were later discarded, the main melody remained as the basis for the song's direct replacement, "When Will My Life Begin". In both songs, Rapunzel is singing about her life in the tower. However, in this version, she is singing about how wonderful life is, and how she does not need anything else.

Lyrics

Five minutes
Don't shake me
Too early to wake me

Oh no! I overslept again! Why didn't you say anything?
We have so much to do and the morning's half over.
Well don't just sit there... come on!

Gotta get up, get dressed, gotta see what's doin'
Gotta get set, then a great bite or two in
Got a great mood that nothing on earth can ruin
I feel fresh and complete, and the world at my feet

I've got the morning sun
I've got the east-bound breeze
I've got a cloud's eye view of several nearby trees
I've got all this, and those
And I've got tonnes of these
I mean, what more could I ever need?

Got the whole day, so hey, why not go explorin'?
Got so much stuff, enough that it's never borin'
Got no idea how anyone squeezes more in
And with all that I've got, am I lucky or what?

I've got the passing birds
I've got the butterflies
I've got all kinds of books, I'm talking huge supplies
Plus there's a zillion steps
So I've got exercise
Come on, what more could I ever need?

I've got my painting
My writing
Life's so exciting
What more could I ever need?

I've got my garden
My kitchen
My music...

I've got the perfect home
The finest clothes to wear
I've got so much to do, there's hardly time to spare
If I've got nothing else
Well I can brush my hair
It's life, what more could I ever need?

And yes, there are times where I do wish for more
Wish on the stars I'm supposed to ignore
Strange dancing stars over some far off shore

But for now I can see
I've got all that I need

I've got so much to try
I've got a world to see
I've got all kinds of friends to keep me company
It may not be a lot
But it's enough for me
Yes, I am one lucky girl indeed
I mean, what more could I ever need?

Do-do-do-do-do
La-la-la
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
What more could I ever need?

Ooh.. Hey... Woah...
What more could I ever need?
