Under My Skin
Love's Intrusion: Under My Skin
Lyrics
Ever since I saw you
Expressing the impact of seeing someone for the first time.
I can't close my eyes
Highlighting the difficulty in avoiding thoughts of the person.
Without your face appearing there
Describing the persistent presence of the person's face in thoughts.
And that scares me
Conveying a sense of fear or unease about the intensity of feelings.
All the best intentions
Acknowledging good intentions but admitting to being led astray.
Still I'm led astray
Expressing the challenge of staying on the intended path.
Even though I know it's wrong
Recognizing the awareness of wrongdoing but still unable to resist.
I can't stay away
Admitting difficulty in staying away from the person.
You're under my skin
Stating that the person is deeply ingrained in the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
Now you're under my skin
Reiterating the strong influence of the person under the speaker's skin.
You found the way to get in
Acknowledging that the person has found a way to impact the speaker's life.
I know
Expressing awareness of the situation.
I tried to walk away
Describing an attempt to distance oneself from the person.
How'm I s'posed to live without you
Expressing the difficulty of living without the person.
Baby when you're under my skin
Reiterating the profound impact of the person being under the speaker's skin.
Your under my skin
Repeating the idea of the person being under the speaker's skin.
You could snap your fingers
Describing a regretful realization, possibly about missed opportunities.
I could kick myself
Expressing self-blame or frustration for not resisting the person.
'Cause every time you call my name
Highlighting the strong impact of the person's call or attention.
I would follow
Expressing a willingness to follow the person's lead.
You'd think I'd know better
Reflecting on a perceived lapse in judgment.
Not at all like me
Contrasting the current behavior with the speaker's usual character.
Sitting here just wishing
Expressing a sense of longing or desire.
I had the nerve to say
Regretting a missed opportunity to express feelings.
You're under my skin
Reiterating the deep impact of the person being under the speaker's skin.
Now you're under my skin
Emphasizing the continued influence of the person.
You found the way to get in
Acknowledging the person's ability to enter the speaker's life.
I know
Repeating awareness of the situation.
I tried to walk away
Reiterating an attempt to distance oneself from the person.
How'm I s'posed to live without you
Expressing the challenge of living without the person.
Baby when you're under my skin
Emphasizing the profound impact of the person being under the speaker's skin.
I thought by now that you would know
Expressing surprise that the person doesn't understand the speaker's difficulty in saying no.
I'm just a girl who can't say no
Asserting a characteristic of being unable to refuse or reject.
