I've Got You Under My Skin
Embracing Passion's Grip
Lyrics
I've got you under my skin.
I've become emotionally entangled with you.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
Your presence is deeply ingrained within me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
You are an integral part of my emotions and identity.
I've got you under my skin.
Reiteration of being emotionally captivated by you.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I attempted not to succumb to my feelings.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
I thought this romantic involvement would not succeed.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
Questioning the resistance when knowing the inevitable emotional connection.
I've got you under my skin?
Acknowledging the inescapable presence of affection.
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
Expressing readiness to give up anything for proximity.
For the sake of havin' you near
Despite warnings, expressing willingness to be close.
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
Reference to an internal warning voice about potential consequences.
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Repetition of the warning voice questioning the pursuit.
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Self-admonition that success in love is unlikely.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
Encouragement to think rationally and face reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
The mere thought of you interrupts rational thinking.
Makes me stop before I begin
Hesitation caused by the emotional impact.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Reiterating the overwhelming influence of affection.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
Reaffirmation of willingness to sacrifice for closeness.
For the sake of havin' you near
Despite warnings, expressing determination to be near.
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
Reiteration of the internal warning voice.
And repeats, how it yells in my ear:
Repetition of the warning, emphasizing the intensity.
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Self-awareness that success is improbable.
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
Encouragement to use reason and face the truth.
And each time I do just the thought of you
The recurring thought of you hinders rational decision-making.
Makes me stop just before I begin
Repeated hesitation due to the emotional impact.
Cause I've got you under my skin.
Confirming the enduring influence of deep affection.
And I like you under my skin.
Expressing a liking for the profound connection.
