I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter) - Ella Fitzgerald

Lyrics:


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, baby, 

I know so 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 that I do just the thought of you 

Makes me stop before I begin 

'Cause I've got you under my skin.


(Musical interlude)


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, little fool, you never can win? 

Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality? 

But each time I do just the thought of you 

Makes me stop just before I begin 

'Cause I've got you under my skin. 

Yes, I've got you under my skin.
