Shirley Bassey - I've Got You Under My Skin

I've got you under my skin
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, darling, 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, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

I'd 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, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got, oh yes I've got you, got you
Under my skin
