That Was Then

Guess you never really know just what you’ve got

‘till 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 cared

And I didn’t even notice you were there

I promise that I’ll never ever make that same mistake

Not twice …

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 (how you really feel)

Now I see that I’m the lucky one, it’s true

And what we’ve got you know I never want to lose

‘cause I was tripping in a fantasy …

And missing what was real

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 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 …

But now you know I finally see

That you’re my world(yeah)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing …

And I’m gonna do whatever it takes

No, I’m never gonna let it all 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

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 you 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 all 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

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

Coming around

And ready to show you how

I’m gonna change girl

(yeah oh,oh,oh)
