    Lyrics

    Guess you never really know
    Just what you've got
    Until 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 I'll never ever
    Make that same mistake not twice

    That was then
    This is now
    Take some time to come around
    All I want to 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, 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 want to 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
    Take some time to come around
    All I want to 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, 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 really though 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 want to 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
    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 want to 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, 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 want to 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 fail
    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 want to 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, 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
