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; [Chorus] 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. 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. [Chorus]
