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
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 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
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
