You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 everyday
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free
You're getting to be a habit with me
Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
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
You're getting to be a habit with me
The lyrics of "You’re Getting to Be a Habit with Me" by The Rat Pack express the addictive nature of love. The singer has become so attached to their lover that every kiss and hug feels like a drug, making it difficult to imagine life without them. They no longer think of their lover's love as something they can take or leave alone, but instead describe themselves as addicted to their charms. They can't break away and need their lover every day, in the same way that they need coffee or tea. The lover has complete control over the singer and they can't break free from the habit of being with them.
The song's lyrics are both upbeat and melancholic, reflecting the complicated nature of love and addiction. The repeated reference to being addicted to a person can be seen as a metaphor for addiction in general. The song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale to those who fall too deeply in love or become addicted to anything, even though they know it may not be healthy for them.
Interestingly, "You’re Getting to Be a Habit with Me" was originally written for the film "42nd Street" in 1933. It was composed by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, and became one of their most popular songs. It has been covered by numerous artists, including Bing Crosby, Doris Day, and Frank Sinatra.
