I've Got You Under My Skin

(album: I've Gotta Be Me - 1968)

I've got you under my skin
I've 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've tried so not to give it in
I said to myself, this affair never would go so well
But darling, why should I resist when, baby, you know darn well
That I've got you, got you, got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of that crazy voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear

"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
And I like you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of that wonderful voice that comes in the night
And repeats, and repeats, and it yells and it screams in my ear

"Don't you know, little fool, you ain't got no wind
Use your mentality, wake up to reality"
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I got you, and I like you
I've got you under my skin
Under my skin

But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me – ow!
