That was then - Jesse Mccartney

Guess you never really know just what you've got
'til you finally realize she could be gone
I know that I've been taking you for granted
For the longest time

All you wanted was someone who really cares
And I didn't even notice you were there
I promise that I'll never ever make that same mistake
Not twice

[Chorus]
That was then..this is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do

Is try again...show you how
I know that it's all about
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then...this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

Guess I never really thought about it before
I was thinking of myself, and nothing more
Didn't even wanna try to find out
How you really feel

Now I see that I'm the lucky one, it's true
And what we've got to know I never want to lose
I was trippin' in a fantasy
And missing what was real

[Chorus]
That was then..this is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do
Is try again...show you how
I know that it's all about
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then...this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

I used to be someone
Who only really thought about themselves
And no one else and you could tell baby(yeah yeah)
But that's before I understood
That when we've got something this good
Gotta let her know
And I want to you know

You're always my priority
And I wanna give more than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yes you are)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No, I'm never gonna let it slip away
'cause you're my girl (yes you are)

[Chorus]
That was then..this is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do
Is try again...show you how
I know that it's all about
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then...this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

You're always my priority
And I wanna give more than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yes you are)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No, I'm never gonna let it slip away
'cause you're my girl (yes you are)

[Chorus]
That was then..this is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do
Is try again...show you how
I know that it's all about
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then...this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

Comin' around n' ready to show you how
Goin' to change girl
