Lyrics You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me - Mel Torme

You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me

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;
Ev’ry kiss, ev’ry 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 ev’ry 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
Verse 2 (from British sheet music):
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

Mel Tormé
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
(Orchestral Interlude)
You’ve got me in your clutches
And I can’t get free
Like getting shut-eye
You are what I need
Eternally, ohhh!
my
You’re getting to be a habit with me
