Don't you know, little foolYou 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've got you under my skinI've got you, deep in the heart of meSo deep in my heart that you're really a part of meI've got you under my skin I've Got You Under My Skin
The song continues with the singer struggling against, yet ultimately accepting, a deep infatuation, featuring lyrics about trying not to give in, sacrificing anything to be near the loved one, and ignoring a "warning voice" to surrender to the feeling. Don't you know, little foolYou never can win
I'd tried so, not to give inI said to myself this affair never will go so wellBut why should I try to resist when baby I know so well I've got you under my skin Don't you know
