I Got Duckets
D.Rec.or.d Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
And each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin.
And I like you under my skin.
The song refers to a person being deeply in love with someone despite any rational or logical objections. The person is so enraptured by their lover that they feel as though they have become a part of them, being under their skin. They have tried to resist the urge to give into their love, knowing that it may not go well, but they can't help themselves. They feel as though they would sacrifice anything just to have their lover close to them, despite warning voices in their head telling them otherwise. The song ends with the repeated phrase "And I like you under my skin," highlighting the fact that the person cannot and does not want to escape their love.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are reflective of the feelings of intense and all-consuming love. The use of metaphors such as having someone under your skin is a poetic way of describing the depth of feeling that the person has. At the same time, the repeated warnings and the need to use one's "mentality" adds an element of caution, suggesting that the person is aware of the potential risks of their love.
