That Was Then - Jesse McCartney
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 ¡¦

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)
