I’ve Got You Under My Skin
I've got you under my skin
I have got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
And I've got you under my skin
I have tried so, not to give in
I've said to myself, "This affair, it never would go so well"
But why should I try to resist when I know so well
That I've got you under my skin?
I would sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night and repeats in my ear
"Don't you know, you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
For each time I do
Just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
Because I've got you under my skin
[Instrumental Break]
I would sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night and repeats in my ear
"Don't you know, you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
For each time I do
Just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
Because I've got you under my skin
