Skin
Jodie Abacus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look what you started
I never wanted you to stay
Look what my heart did
It wasn't meant to beat this way, ummmm

I hate that I wanna call
Wanna message you but I stall, ummmm
Savage uncivilised
Sweet thorn stuck in my side
It's bugging but I can't control it

My guards down
You got in that smile you're wearing
Makes me feel just like a king
I've been thinking 'bout you ever since
Don't know what's happening
But you get underneath my
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Six in the morning
And there you are you again
Like a recording
Keep playing with my brain, oh no
It's like I got drunk last night
Best hangover of my life
Invading my breakfast time
I'm whipped like these eggs I can't deny
It's buggin but I can't control it

My guards down
You got in that smile you're wearing
Makes me feel just like a king
I've been thinking 'bout you ever since
Don't know what's happening
But you get underneath my
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo

You get underneath
(You get underneath)
You get underneath
(You get underneath)

You get underneath my skin
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my skin

Whooo whooo whooo whooo
Whooo whooo whooo whooo




Whooo whooo whooo whooo
You get underneath my
