Get Used to It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to live down by the beach
And I used to be good on my feet
And my fingers used to dance on every key
Now they're just pieces of meat

Used to wear a suit and tie
And I used to grab a birdie every night
Drive down to the hotel parking lot
Make monkey love in the street

Used to go to university
Used to be the head of varsity
Used to live inside this box
With everyone noticing me

I used to leave the evening feeling right
I'll be with you each and every night
Chasing that horizon in our eyes


[Chorus]
You want a garden, but you got a balcony
And you're always lookin' for some company
You want a say, well, what you got to say?
Give in to me, give in to me and see

[Verse 2]
Used to live down by Hyperion
Used to be a Californian
Way back when before my Missouri
Left not but this envy in my heart

Heart and soul
Apropos, you're beautiful
You're beautiful
[Chorus]
You want a garden, but you got a balcony
And you're always lookin' for some company
You want a say, well, what you gotta say?
Give in to me, give in to me
Give in to me

[Chorus]
You want a garden, but you got a balcony
And you're always lookin' for some company
You want a say, well, what you gotta say?
Give in to me, give in to me and see

[Chorus 2]
Garden, but you got a mouth to feed
And you're always looking for some company
You want a say (say), well, what you gotta say?
What you gotta say? What you gotta say? (Say)
Give in to me

[Outro]
Get used to it, get used to it
(Garden but you got a balcony, and)
Get used to it, get used to it
Get used to it, get used to it
(Garden but you got a balcony, and)
Get used to it, get used to it
(Garden but you got a balcony, and)
Get used to it, get used to it
Get used to it, get used to it
(Garden but you got a balcony, and)
Get used to it, get used to it
Get used to it, get used to it
Get used to it, get used to it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
