Lyrics: I’ve Got You Under My Skin

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both]
I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
You’re so deep in my heart, you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you, yes, I do, under my skin
[Verse 2: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Both]
I’ve tried so not to give in
I’ve said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist? When all that I know so well
I’ve got you under my skin
[Bridge: Lady Gaga]
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 and repeats in my ear
[Verse 3: Tony Bennett, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga]
“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
[Verse 4: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both]
“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
And I’ll love you like a tattoo under my skin, under my skin
Yes, I’ve got you under my skin
