You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me" is a popular song.

The music was written by Harry Warren, the lyrics by Al Dubin. The song was published in 1932. It appears in the backstager Warner Brothers musical film 42nd Street. The song was inspired by one of the women working at the Warner Brothers studio, who when asked why she was still dating a certain man, said that he was getting to be a habit with her. In the movie, it is sung by the leading lady Dorothy Brock, played by Bebe Daniels.

[edit] Lyrics

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 let alone, /
But now I couldn't do without my supply/,
I need you for my own./

No, 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.

[edit] Parodies

• On the South Park season eight episode You Got F'd in the A, the song Butters danced to in the flashback of the freak accident caused by his tap dancing was an upbeat (yet risqué) tune of "I've Got Something in My Front Pocket For You", which sounds similar to this song in tune (and song title).
