"I've Got You Under My Skin" lyrics

"I've Got You Under My Skin"
(originally by Virginia Bruce)

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 tried so not to give in
I said to myself, this affair 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 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
Yeah, 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 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
And 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 want you
And I need you
Under my skin
