You Got It
Greger & Greger 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 lyrics of "You Got It" by Greger & Greger primarily talk about the intense, unending attraction and love that the singer has for someone. He says that he has got this person "under his skin" and "deep in the heart" of him. This means that he is absolutely smitten and in love with this person, who has become a part of him.
The singer has tried to resist this attraction but finds it impossible to do so because they are so deeply in love. He is willing to sacrifice anything to be near this person, ignoring the warning voice in his head that tells him he cannot win over them.
Despite the warning, the singer is unable to resist his feelings and is happy to have this person "under his skin". The song is a beautiful representation of the overpowering feelings that come with being deeply in love with someone.

Despite the challenges, I am content with having you deep inside me.

Dr. Gregorβs comparison of physicians promoting cigarettes in the 60βs vs doctors not promoting a plant-based diet now was very interesting to listen to. Dr. Greger very clearly lays out the evidence for a plant-based diet by showing that it can be a life-saving cure for patients with heart disease as well as reverse and prevent heart disease. Yet the American Heart Association encourages the consumption of poultry and fish, doctors donβt promote plant-based diets to their patients, and medical schools teach very little about nutrition. One of the possible reasons for this that Dr. Greger hinted at, is the medical communityβs conflict of interest. In clinical care, the narrowest definition of conflict of interest is that the patientβs outcome is worse because the physician subordinated the patientβs best interest. The physician may do this either intentionally or subconsciously.
Now, it makes sense how research can be skewed due to conflict of interest, such as the example that Dr. Gregor gave where a study on βBody weight status and cardiovascular risk factors in adults by frequency of candy consumptionβ was funded by the National Confectioners Association.
Itβs gets a bit more interesting trying to understand how conflict of interest can play in to individual physicians not jumping to prescribe a plant-based diet to all their patients.
For physicians the conflict of interest isnβt financial usually, itβs personal. I am a current medical student in the US, I do not practice a plant-based diet, and nowhere in my medical education will the nutritional benefits of a solely plant-based diet be taught. In fact, currently the only thing I know about plant-based diets is that it can cause a B-12 deficiency, which can cause anemia. Personally, if future me was to tell a patient that they should start a plant-based diet and that patient was to ask me: βWell doctor, do you eat a plant-based diet? And if you donβt, why should I?β, I wouldnβt know what to say. Furthermore, I can come up with many excuses of why I choose to not eat a plant-based diet. Mind you, none of them are very good excuses.
Dr. Gregerβs comparison of the history of tobacco consumption in the US to the promotion of plant-based diets by physicians is spot on. Until our society fully accepts the health benefits of a plant based diet, much like it has accepted the risks of smoking, the medical society will continue to promote a non-plant based diet. This isnβt a change that solely physicians can make, it has to be a change in our societyβs overall thinking.

"I don't mind dying. I just don't want it to be my own fault". Wow. What a great statement!

From what he preaches, it will be his own fault.

@Crystal V Unfortunately, even RDs are taught that animal products are healthy! Please do your best to wake your colleagues up! In your experience how has that been? As a future physician myself, trying to wake up my colleagues has been pretty decent, but still challenging!

I just adore this man. He is funny and so right on! I smile every time I see his email has arrived. My father had terrible "calcification" in his heart---he had no idea. He has eaten vegan/plant based/no oil now for 13 years. He is the picture of health and has reduced the plaque in his heart. Thanks to the work of Esselstyn and Greger!
