I’ve got you under my skin,
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart,
You’re really a part of me.
I’ve got you under my skin.
I’ve tried so not to give in.
I’ve said to myself,
“This affair never will go so well.”
But why should I try to resist
When, darling I know so well
I’ve got you under my skin.
So set ’em’ up, Joe,
I got a little story
You outta know.
I got the routine,
So drop another nickel
In the machine.
‘Cause I’ve got her 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:
“on’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.
So set ’em up, Joe,
I got a little story
That you oughta know.
