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.
Guess I never really 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.
And what we've got
To 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
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 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 really. (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
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…
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.

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.
