That Was Then, This Is Now

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out

Girl, that was then but this is now

I promise you, gonna work it out some more

Girl, that was then but this is now

Girl, that was then but this is now

Oh, girl, you've been actin' so strange

Tell me why I get this feeling you've changed

And I wonder if it's because of me, babe

What did I do?

I know sometimes (That was then) I act as if I don't really care

Always pretending that you're not there, babe (This is now)

But now I'm righting my wrongs

I'm gonna show you that I can change

I have changed

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out (Gonna work it out somehow)

Girl, that was then but this is now

I promise you, gonna work it out some more

I was young (I was so young) living my life with no concern

It took forever for me to learn, babe

How much I needed to benefit from my mistakes

I never knew just what it meant to be a real man (What's a real man?)

Responsibilities I never had

Until you opened  my eyes

You made me realize

Now I'm finally on my way to you, baby

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out (Gonna work it out somehow)

Girl, that was then but this is now (Yeah)

I promise you, gonna work it out (Gonna work it out somehow)

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out

Girl, that was then but this is now

I promise you, gonna work it out

Girl, from now on

I'm gonna be good to you

Promises that I make, gonna see them through

Don't you hesitate

If you need me, don't hesitate

Just call on my name

Because I'll be there for you, baby

Can't live without your love, my baby

I can't live without your love

Do what I must to change your mind

Girl, that was then but this is now

Can't live without your love, my baby

I can't live without your love, girl

Can't live, can't live, I can't live without your love, baby

Girl, that was then but this is now

Girl, that was then but this is now

I can't live without, without your love

Girl, that was then but this is now

Without your love, without your love

Girl, that was then but this is now

Yeah, my heart is what I give

Girl, that was then but this is now

My soul, I'd let you walk right through

Girl, that was then but this is now

To show how much I appreciate

All the love you've given me, you release my fire, set me free

Girl, that was then but this is now

Girl, that was then but this is now

What would I do with you anywhere, baby

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out (Gonna work it out somehow, baby)

Girl, that was then but this is now (I'm a man now)

I promise you, gonna work it out (I'm a man)

'Cause that was then but this is now

I'm all grown up, gonna work it out

Girl, that was then but this is now

I promise you, gonna work it out some more
