Lyrics: Cassandra Wilson. Other. I've Got You Under My Skin.


I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I tried so, never to give in
I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when darling I know so well...
I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything, come what may...
For the sake of having you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear:
"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win"
"Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"

But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop.... before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Cassandra Wilson
