Lyrics
I don’t know exactly how it started
But it started in fun
I just wanted some one 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
Refrain
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 our 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
