I've got you under my skin I have got you, deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I'd tried so, not to give in And I said to myself this affair it never will go so well But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well That I've got you under my skin I'd 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, repeats in my ear Don't you know fool You never can win Use your mentality, wake up to reality And each time I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause 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 comes in the night And repeats how it yells in my ear Don't you know you fool You never can win Why not use your mentality Wake up, step up to reality And each time I do just the thought of you Makes me stop just before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin Yeah you grab me under my skin
