  • I did not know what you were about
    Something called "love" made me want to find out
    Did not think you could ever care
    But I'm outta control 'cause you're takin' me there

    I couldn't believe our love would last
    It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster

    Get used to it
    'Cause I'll be around
    Yeah, ya better get used to
    All my love

    Get used to it, don' t let me down
    You pulled me in, so don't turn me around
    You didn't hesitate and told me just how you feel
    There ain't no mistake, this time it's for real

    I didn't believe our love would last
    It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster

    Get used to it
    'Cause I'll be around
    Yeah, ya better get used to
    All my love, please

    I'll be around you
    Because I'm crazy about you
    I'll be around you, baby
    You know I can't live without you
    I'll be around ya, baby
    Because I'm hungry for your love

    So you better get used to it
    'Cause I'll be around
    Yeah, ya better get used to
    All my love, please

    Ya better get used to
    All my love, baby
    Ya better get used...

  • Brad from Barry, TxI actually have two versions of this song, one from Super Hits of the 70s Volume 25, which I believe is the original version. I also have another version, some sort of remix. I believe it's also by Voudouris, but may have been performed by another artist.
