I've Got You Under My Skin
Captivated Depths: Love's Irresistible Embrace
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin
I have a strong emotional connection with you
I've got you deep in the heart of me
Your presence is deeply ingrained in my innermost feelings
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
You are such an integral part of my heart
I've got you under my skin
Reiteration of the emotional attachment mentioned in line 1
I've tried so not to give in
I've made an effort to resist this emotional connection
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
I've convinced myself that this romantic involvement won't end well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
Questioning the resistance when the deep emotional connection is known
That I've got you under my skin
Reaffirmation of the strong emotional bond
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Expressing willingness to make sacrifices for the relationship
For the sake of having you near
Desiring closeness despite potential challenges
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
Acknowledging an inner voice of caution that surfaces at night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
The cautionary voice repeatedly warning against the relationship
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Self-admonishment for being foolish and unable to win in love
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
Encouraging a shift from emotional to rational thinking
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Admitting difficulty in resisting thoughts of the beloved
Makes me stop before I begin
Hesitation before starting a romantic pursuit
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Reiteration of the enduring impact of the emotional connection
