Under The Skin
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics

I've got you under my skin.
You've seeped deep into my thoughts and emotions, becoming a significant part of me.

I've got you deep in the heart of me.
You've taken root inside my heart, affecting me on multiple levels.

So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
You've become so entangled in my feelings and identity that I can't separate myself from you.

I'd tried so not to give in.
I resisted acknowledging my feelings for you, attempting to avoid the potential pain and complications of this connection.

I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
I was certain that pursuing a relationship with you would ultimately result in disappointment or harm to myself.

But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well / I've got you under my skin?
Despite my reservations, I can't help but give in to my feelings for you, as they have taken hold of me so thoroughly.

I'd sacrifice anything come what might / For the sake of havin' you near
I would go to great lengths to maintain our connection, no matter the potential consequences or sacrifices involved.

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?
Despite the cautionary voices in my head warning me of potential danger, I continue to pursue you, knowing that there is a chance I will not succeed.

Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
I should heed the rational advice of choosing a safer path and accepting reality, rather than being swayed purely by my emotions.

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.
While I understand the notion of being cautious, I can't seem to resist the pull towards you, due to the profound and enduring impact you've had on me.

And I like you under my skin.
Despite the potential for harm and complications, I cannot deny the desire I feel for you and the fact that you have become a part of who I am.
