I've Got You Under My Skin Songtext

von Clifford Brown

I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
You're really a part of me

I tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair
Never will go so well
So 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 that 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 how it yells in my ear

Don't you know, little fool
You never can win?
Why not use your mentality
Wake up to reality?

Well, each time that I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Yeah, I've got you under my skin
