You'r Getting To Be A Habit With Me
Torme Mel 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
I used to think your love was something that I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
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
You've got me in your clutches
And I can't get free
Like getting shut-eye,
You are what I need
Eternally, ohhh! my
You're getting to be a habit with me
The lyrics to Torme Mel's song "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" convey the idea that the singer is in love with someone so deeply that their love has become an addiction. Every kiss and hug they share feels like a drug, and the singer can't seem to get enough. They used to believe that they could take or leave this person's love, but now they have become completely dependent on it. This person is now an essential part of their life, like coffee or tea. The singer is essentially trapped in this love, and they can't break free, even if they wanted to.
The metaphor of addiction is a powerful one in this song. The lyrics suggest that the singer's love for this person is something they can't control, as if they were addicted to a drug. The idea that this person has them in their clutches, and they can't break free, is a vivid portrayal of the power that love can have over us. The final lines of the song, "You're getting to be a habit with me, can't break it, you're getting to be a habit with me," reinforce this idea and leave the listener with a sense of bittersweet resignation.
