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
