That What Then - Jesse McCartney

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
