Lyrics:

[English]

I've got you under my skin

I have 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

And I said to myself this affair it never will go so well

But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well

That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of having you near

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know, you fool

You never can win

Use your mentality

Wake up to reality

And each time I do just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin

...

I would sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of having you near

In spite of a warning voice 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, just the thought of you

Makes me stop just before I begin

Because I've got you under my skin

Yes, I've got you under my skin

...
