Jesse McCartney - That Was Then Lyrics

Send "That Was Then" ringtones to your cell

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 

[Chorus] 
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 

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 

[Chorus] 
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 we've got something this good 
Gotta let her know 
And I want to you know 

You're always my priority 
And I wanna give 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 slip away 
'cause you're my girl (yes you are)

[Chorus] 
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 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 slip away 
'cause you're my girl (yes you are)

[Chorus] 
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 

Comin' around n' ready to show you how 
Goin' to change girl
