I've Got a Crush On You
Gia Maione Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Baby, under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never could go so well
But why should I try to resist, when Luigi I know so well
Little mogetti under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality (wake up to reality)
But each time you do (just the thought of you)
Makes me (stop before you begin)
'Cause I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality (wake up to reality)
But each time you do (just the thought of you)
Makes me (stop before you begin)
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Oh, I've got you under my skin
Yeah, I've got you, baby, under my skin




Oh holy ???
I've got you, baby, under my skin
