You can knock me out
You can take my friends
But you'll never get
Me down.
You can take my job and the story ends
I will never be your clown.
You can tease me
Squeeze me
Push me around
But you'll never get
Me down.

Take my heart
Hurt me
Girl
Hurt me more

Take my pride
Hurt me more
Shut up the door

Take my soul and take my money
Too.
You'll never get me down
It must be love
It's true.

I got under my skin
Under my heartbeat
Under my love

Under my skin
High on my love
Sweet

Baby
My love
Oh
It's too deep
It's under my skin.

You can take my home
Lead the place I'll go
But you'll never beat
Me down.
Baby
When I fall I sray up and grow
I will never leave this town.
You can cheat me
Lead me
Push me around
But you'll never get
Me down.

Take my heart
Hurt me
Girl
Playing your game

Take my pride
I'll pick up the pieces again

Take my soul and take my money
Too

You'll never get me down
It must be love
It's true.

I got you under my skin
Under my heartbeat
Under my love
...

I got you under my skin
Under my heartbeat
Under my love
...
It's under my skin
It's under my skin.
