I've Got You Under My Skin

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
(Cole Porter)

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 could go so well
but why should I try to resist when, darling, 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 the 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
‘cause I’ve got you under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything, come what might
for the sake of having you near, in spite
of the 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
‘cause I’ve got you under my skin
