I've Got You Under My Skin
Enveloped in Love: Exploring the Depths of Connection in 'I've Got You Under My Skin'
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin.
I feel deeply connected to you.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
Your presence is embedded in the core of my being.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
You are an integral part of my heart and identity.
I've got you under my skin.
Reiteration of the strong emotional connection.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I attempted not to succumb to this feeling.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
I told myself this relationship wouldn't succeed.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
Questioning the resistance when the inevitable outcome is known.
I've got you under my skin?
Acknowledgment of being captivated by this connection.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Expressing willingness to make any sacrifice for proximity.
For the sake of havin' you near
Despite warnings, expressing a strong desire to be close.
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
Reference to an inner voice cautioning against the relationship.
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
Repetition of the warning voice influencing thoughts.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Acknowledging the potential futility of pursuing the relationship.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
Encouragement to think logically and face reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
The mere thought of you hinders my actions.
Makes me stop before I begin
Acknowledging a pause due to thoughts of the person.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Reiterating the feeling of having the person deeply ingrained.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
Reaffirming the readiness to sacrifice for closeness.
For the sake of havin' you near
Ignoring warnings and expressing a desire for proximity.
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
Reiteration of the cautionary inner voice.
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
Emphasizing the persistent and loud warning voice.
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Acceptance that winning may be improbable.
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
Encouragement to use reason and face the truth.
And each time I do just the thought of you
Repeating the internal struggle caused by thoughts of the person.
Makes me stop just before I begin
Admitting a pause due to thoughts just before taking action.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Restating the deep influence of the person on the speaker.
And I like you under my skin.
Expressing a preference for the person's presence in the speaker's life.
