Used to It
Harry Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sniffing around like you want it
Looking through me; I can’t handle it
Eyes are on her, why must you hurt me?
I guess I got used to it
Oh

I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh

Why do you make this thing so complex?
We used to be easy, but now I’m obsessed
Hoping tonight you will invite me
When did I become so weak?
I guess I got used to it

I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh

I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh

(All right, all right, all right, all right)
Guess I got, guess I got used to it, used to it
Guess I got, guess I got, guess I got used to it

Oh

I have got to let you go
I’ve got to let you go, oh
I have got to let you go
I’ve got let you go, no, no
Oh oh

You got to leave
You got to walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Yeah




I guess I got, I guess I got used to it, used to it
I guess I got used to it
