Porter : I've Got You Under My Skin (Born To Dance, 1936)

Kiri Te Kanawa
Album : Porter : Kiri Sings Porter

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.
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.
under my skin, under my skin
under my skin
