"I've Got You Under My Skin" lyrics

Louis Prima & Gia Maione Lyrics

"I've Got You Under My Skin"
(originally by Cole Porter)

I've got you under my skin
I've got you, baby, deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
Baby, under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
And I said to myself this affair never could go so well
Well then why should I try to resist, when baby I know so well
Baby, 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, and repeats in my ear
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality
Face up to reality
And each time I do, just the thought of you makes me
Stop before you begin
'Cause I've got you, baby, under my skin
'Cause I've got you, baby, under my skin

Now I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice, comes at night
And it calls and calls in my ear
Don't you know, you never can win
Use your mentality
Face up to reality
And each time I do, just the thought of you makes me
Stop before you begin
I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin
I've got you, mommy, under my skin
I've got you, daddy, under my skin
I've got you under my skin
