I'd tried so, not to give inI said to myself this affair never will go so wellBut why should I try to resist when baby I know so well 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, little foolYou never can win Use your mentality Wake up to reality But each time that I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin I've Got You Under My Skin
I've got you under my skinI've got you deep in the heart of meSo deep in my heart that you're really a part of meI've got you under my skin
