I've Got You Under My Skin
Cole Porter Lyrics

I've got you under my skin
You are so ingrained in my being that I can't seem to shake you off.

I've got you deep in the heart of me
You have taken a permanent residence in the core of my being, and I can't do anything about it.

So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
You have become an inseparable part of my being and I can't imagine my life without you.

I'd tried so not to give in
I tried hard not to let my feelings take control of me, but in vain.

I said to myself this affair never will go so well
I knew in my heart that this relationship wouldn't go smoothly, and I shouldn't get involved, but I couldn't help myself.

But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well
But why should I resist my feelings when I know that I am hopelessly in love with you.

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
I'd do anything to be with you, no matter what the consequences are.

For the sake of having you near
I'm willing to go through any hardship just to be close to you.

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
Despite the advice of my rational self, which tells me to be careful, I still can't help but want you.

And repeats, repeats in my ear
The warning voice in my head keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.

Don't you know little fool
The rational part of me calls me a fool for getting involved in this relationship.

You never can win
The rational part of me reminds me that I'll never be able to win your heart.

Use your mentality, wake up to reality
The rational part of me advises me to use my head, and see things for what they really are.

But each time that I do just the thought of you
But every time I try to be rational, the thought of you overwhelms me.

Makes me stop before I begin
The thought of you paralyzes me, and I can't take any action.

'Cause I've got you under my skin
I'm hopelessly in love with you and can't get you out of my head.
