I've Got You Under My Skin
Captivated by Love's Grip
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 ingrained in the core of my being.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
Your significance is so profound that you are an integral part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I am emotionally affected by you.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I attempted not to succumb to these emotions.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
I told myself that this romantic involvement wouldn't go smoothly.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
Despite knowing the potential difficulties, why resist?
I've got you under my skin?
You have become deeply embedded in my emotions.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
I am willing to give up anything for the chance to have you close.
For the sake of havin' you near
Ignoring warnings, I desire your proximity.
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
Despite a cautionary inner voice, I pursue you.
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
The warning voice repeats in my mind.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Realization that pursuing you might not lead to success.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
Advice to think logically and face reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Despite efforts, thoughts of you make me hesitate.
Makes me stop before I begin
I pause before engaging in any pursuit because of you.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Your influence is still deeply rooted in my emotions.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
Willingness to make sacrifices for the opportunity to be close to you.
For the sake of havin' you near
Despite warnings, the desire for your presence persists.
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
The cautionary inner voice continues to echo in the night.
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
The repeated reminder that winning your affection may be unlikely.
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Acknowledging the slim chance of success.
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
Encouragement to think rationally and wake up to reality.
And each time I do just the thought of you
Despite attempts to be practical, thoughts of you intervene.
Makes me stop just before I begin
I hesitate just before pursuing anything involving you.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Your influence persists, affecting my decisions.
And I like you under my skin.
I enjoy having you deeply embedded in my emotions.
