I've Got You Under My Skin
Captivated by Love's Embrace: I've Got You Under My Skin
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin.
I have a strong emotional connection or attachment to you.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
You are deeply ingrained in the core of my being.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
Your presence is so significant that you are an integral part of who I am.
I've got you under my skin.
I am constantly thinking about you; you are on my mind.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I attempted to resist or avoid these feelings.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
I told myself this romantic involvement wouldn't end well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
Despite my reservations, I cannot resist because I know deep down.
I've got you under my skin?
You have a significant influence on me, and I can't escape it.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
I am willing to give up anything, regardless of consequences.
For the sake of havin' you near
I desire your closeness above all else.
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
Ignoring inner warnings, possibly rational thoughts against pursuing the relationship.
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
A recurring voice warns against the pursuit, echoing in the night.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Self-admonishment for being in a situation with no chance of success.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
An appeal to use reason and face the truth of the situation.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Thinking of you overpowers rational thoughts each time.
Makes me stop before I begin
My thoughts of you make me pause and reconsider before taking action.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Your influence is so deep that it affects my decisions and actions.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
Reiteration of the willingness to sacrifice anything for the sake of closeness.
For the sake of havin' you near
Expressing the strong desire to have you close, despite potential consequences.
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
Repetition of inner warnings against pursuing the relationship.
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
The persistent inner voice loudly repeats warnings against the romantic involvement.
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Recognizing the futility of winning in this situation.
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
An urgent call to face reality and use logical thinking.
And each time I do just the thought of you
The mere thought of you disrupts attempts to face reality.
Makes me stop just before I begin
My thoughts of you prevent me from starting something.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Your influence continues to impact my decisions and actions.
And I like you under my skin.
Expressing a preference for having you deeply ingrained in one's thoughts and emotions.
