• 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.
