I've Got You Under My Skin
Captivated Heart: Embracing Love's Irresistible Allure
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin.
Expresses a strong emotional attachment or obsession towards someone.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
Emphasizes the depth of the emotional connection, implying it's ingrained deeply within.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
Portrays the person as an integral part of the singer's identity and emotions.
I've got you under my skin.
Reiterates the fixation or obsession mentioned at the beginning.
I'd tried so not to give in.
Highlights attempts to resist this intense attraction.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
Expresses skepticism about the success of the romantic involvement.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
Questions the point of resisting the attraction when the singer acknowledges the strong connection.
I've got you under my skin?
Confirms the persistence of the obsession despite attempts to resist.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Expresses willingness to make sacrifices for the person.
For the sake of havin' you near
Desire to have the person close, despite potential consequences.
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
Recognition of a warning voice or intuition cautioning against the relationship.
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
Repetition of the warning, emphasizing its persistence.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Self-criticism for pursuing something deemed impossible or unattainable.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
Encouragement to think rationally and face reality instead of being driven solely by emotions.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
The presence of the person overrides rational thoughts.
Makes me stop before I begin
The fixation on the person stops the singer from starting something new.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Reiterates the depth of the attachment despite the conflict between emotions and rationality.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
Repeats the willingness to make sacrifices for the person.
For the sake of havin' you near
Desire for proximity despite warnings against it.
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
Recognition of the persistent warning against the relationship.
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
Repetition of the warning's influence on the singer's thoughts.
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Self-critical tone regarding the futility of winning in this situation.
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
Encouragement to use reason and confront reality rather than being solely guided by emotions.
And each time I do just the thought of you
Despite attempts at rationality, thoughts of the person halt actions.
Makes me stop just before I begin
The fixation interrupts the singer's intentions.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Confirms the persistence of the deep attachment despite rational considerations.
And I like you under my skin.
Expresses contentment with the person being deeply ingrained in the singer's emotions.
