That Was Then

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
 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 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 (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, took some time to come around
 All I wanna do (you know all I wanna do)
 Is try again, show you how, I know that it's all about
 Givin' attention to you (now)
 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 themself
 And no one else
 And you could tell, baby (yeah, yeah)
 But that's before I understood that when you 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 (everything you need)
 Took a little time and now you know I finally see
 That you're my world, yeah (and you know it)
 I never want our love to fade
 Ready, willing and I'm gonna do whatever it takes (whatever it takes)
 No, I'm never gonna let it all slip away
 'Cause you're my girl
 Yes, you are
