Guess you never really know just what you’ve got
‘till 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 care
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
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was ten … 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 (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
‘cause I was tripping 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
Giving attention to you

I was a fool for way to long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was ten … 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

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

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 ten … this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

Coming around
And ready to show you how
I’m going to chance girl
