"If She Knew What She Wants" is a song by Jules Shear released on his 1985 album The Eternal Return. The song was later covered by The Bangles. The song was originally written in the first person, essentially a love song, but the Bangles rewrote the lyrics in the third person, rather than change the subject's gender. The cover version by the Bangles charted at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.
