Lyrics of I Could Get Used To This by Jessie Ware
[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
This Is What I Know
Step Into My Secret Garden
It’s Not Impossible To Bloom And Grow
‘Cause Everyone Deserves Their Flowers
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll Only Do It If I Want It
Got You Hot Under The Collar
Red Light Burning Up My Aura
Pleasure’s Just Around The Corner
[Chorus]
I, I Could Get Used To This
Tonight I’ll Satisfy My Every Motive
I, I Could Get Used To This
’cause You’re The One I Wanna Be Alone With
I’ll Let You Know When It Feels Right
Let Me Show You What Feels Nice
Let’s Stay Here For Infinity
Pablo Silhouette, Venus Energy

Don’t You Think It’s About That Time

About “I Could Get Used To This by Jessie Ware”
Thematically, it’s a cheeky manifesto on owning your desires, stepping into a “secret garden” where pleasure’s no sin but a right. Lines like “I’ll only do it if I want it” and “Got you hot under the collar” pulse with confident kink, nodding to inspirations like Nancy Friday’s fantasy classic My Secret Garden and Gillian Anderson’s Want. It’s less frantic club heat and more intimate afterglow, a sonic exhale that invites you to linger, ask nicely, and let the red light aura take over. The video amps it up too—Ware as Roman deity Juno amid swirling dancers and ancient vibes, styled by longtime collaborator Ella Lucia in playful, feminine flair that screams “let’s dress up and dive in.”
At 41, Ware’s hitting her stride like never before, three years past That! Feels Good!’s diva-funk triumph and riding the wave of her Table Manners podcast blowing up into a creative lifeline. This single teases her sixth album, due later this year on EMI—a third in her dance-trilogy thread, all “confident, celestial” energy threading neo-soul roots from her 2012 debut Devotion with the bold, boundary-pushing glow of her recent era.
She’s evolved from those early awkward-stage clips into a force owning the spotlight, ditching apologies for full-throated “let’s bloody go!” vibes. The podcast’s given her breathing room—“less pressure, more creativity,” as she puts it—letting the music simmer into something even richer, more lived-in. It’s Ware reminding us she’s not just surviving the industry; she’s reshaping it, one sensual hook at a time, with tours on the horizon and that effortless pull keeping fans hooked.
