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 I'll never ever
Make that same mistake not twice
That was then
This is now
Took some time to come around
All what I wanna do
Is try again
Show you how
I know that it's all about
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too 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 thought about it before
I was thinkin' of myself
And nothing more
Didn't even try to find out
How you really feel [how you really feel]
Now I see
That I'm the lucky one
It's true
And what we got
You know I never want to lose
I was trippin' in a fantasy...
And missing what was real
That was then
This is now
Took some time to come around
All what I wanna do
Is try again
Show you how
I know that it's all about
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too 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 really only thought about
Themself and no one else
And you could tell baby
But as before
I understood
That when
You've got something this good
Gotta let her know
And I want you to know
You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
Now you know I finally see
That you're my world [yes you are]
I never want our love to fade ready, willing...
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are
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
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then
This is now
Took sometime to figure out
Love is all you need
You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
Now you know my fantasy
That you're my world [yes you are]
I never want our love to fade ready,willing...
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are
That was then
This is now
Know what I wanna do
Is try again
Show you how
I know that it's all about
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then
This is now
Take some time to figure out
Love is all you need
Comin' around
And ready to show you how
I'm gonna change girl
