That Was Then
Jesse McCartney

Guess you never really know just what you've got

'Til you finally realize she could be gone

And know that I've been taking you for granted

For the longest time


All you want is 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


That was then, this is now

Take 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 some time to figure out

Love is all you need, yeah


Guess I never thought about it before

I was thinkin' 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 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

Take 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 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


But as before I understood, be with you

'Cause something is 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 my fantasy

That you're my world, yeah


I never want our love to fail, [Incomprehensible]

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

Take 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 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

Now you know my fantasy

That you're my world


I never want our love to fail, [Incomprehensible]

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

Take 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 some time to figure out

Love is all you need


Comin' around

And ready to show you how

I'm gonna change girl, baby
