You`Re Getting to Be a Habit with Me - Anita O'Day

I don’t know exactly how it started,

But it started in fun;

I just wanted someone to be gay with,

To play with someone.

But now I realize that I could never let you go,

And I’ve come to tell you so;

Every kiss, every hug

Seems to act just like a drug;

You’re getting to be a habit with me.

Let me stay in your arms,

I’m addicted to your charms;

You’re getting to be a habit with me.

I used to think your love was something that I

Could take or leave alone.

But now I couldn’t do without my supply,

I need you for my own.

Oh, I can’t break away,

I must have you every day,

As regularly as coffee or tea.

You’ve got me in your clutches and I can’t get free,

You’re getting to be a habit with me,

(Can't break it!)

You’re getting to be a habit with me.

I thought it was just another meeting,

But my fate had begun;

Something in my heart kept on repeating,

She’s diff’rent, this one.

I’m getting, oh so used to having you around each day,

Don’t you ever go away.
