That Was Then lyrics

by

Pharrell Williams


[Verse 1]
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 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, but could not see
That was then... this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

[Verse 2]
Guess I never 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 you 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, but could not see
That was then...this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
You're always my priority
And I wanna give more that 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
[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, but could not see
That was then... this is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need
