I've Got You Under My Skin
Passionate Obsession: Love's Allure in 'I've Got You Under My Skin'
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin
I have a deep emotional connection with you.
I've got you deep in the heart of me
Your presence is profoundly embedded in my innermost feelings.
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
You are a significant and inseparable part of my heart.
Baby, under my skin
Addressing the person as "baby," emphasizing the closeness under the skin.
I've tried so not to give in
I've attempted not to succumb to emotions.
I've said to myself this affair never could go so well
Initially doubted the success of the relationship.
But why should I try to resist, when Luigi I know so well
Why resist when familiarity with Luigi, perhaps a friend, assures success.
Little mogetti under my skin
Referring to someone as "Little mogetti" under the skin, suggesting a personal connection.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Expressing willingness to make sacrifices for the person.
For the sake of having you near
Desire to have the person close, prioritizing their presence.
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
A warning voice suggests potential risks in the relationship.
And repeats, repeats in my ear
The warning voice persistently advises caution.
Don't you know you little fool, you never can win
Addressing the person as a "little fool," warning about potential loss.
Use your mentality (wake up to reality)
Encouraging rational thinking and facing reality.
But each time you do (just the thought of you)
The mere thought of the person undermines resistance.
Makes me (stop before you begin)
Cautioning to stop before getting involved.
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Reiterating the depth of emotional connection despite warnings.
I've got you under my skin
Reaffirming the person's presence under the skin.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Repeating the willingness to sacrifice for the person.
For the sake of having you near
Reiterating the desire to have the person close despite warnings.
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
The persistent warning voice continues to caution.
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Repeats the warning in the night about potential risks.
Don't you know you little fool, you never can win
Reiterating that the person cannot succeed, addressing as a "little fool."
Use your mentality (wake up to reality)
Advising to use rational thinking and wake up to reality.
But each time you do (just the thought of you)
Acknowledging the irresistible nature of thoughts about the person.
Makes me (stop before you begin)
Stopping oneself before getting involved, despite the allure.
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Reaffirming the deep connection despite the risks.
Oh, I've got you under my skin
Repeating the sentiment of having the person under the skin.
Yeah, I've got you, baby, under my skin
Emphasizing possession and closeness, addressing as "baby."
Oh holy ???
Lyric unclear, possibly an ad-lib or part of the performance.
I've got you, baby, under my skin
Reiterating the possession and closeness under the skin.
