Lyrics

I’ve (Fm7)got you

un der my (Ebmaj7)skin,

I’ve (Fm7)got you

deep in the (Ebmaj7)heart of me,

so (Fm7)deep in my heart,

you’re real ly a (Eb)part of me.

I’ve (Fm7)got

you

(Bb7)un der my (Eb)skin.

I (Fm7)tried

so

not to give (Ebmaj7)in.

I (F)said to my self, “This af (Bb7)fair

nev er will (Ebmaj7)go so well.”

But (Dm7)why should I try to re (G7)sist when, dar ling, I (Cmaj7)know so well?

I’ve (Abm6)got

you

un der my (Eb)skin.

I’d (Fm7)sac ri fice an y thing, (Bb7)come what might, for the (Ebmaj7)sake of hav ing you (Eb7)near, in spite of a (Fm7)warn ing voice that (Ab6)comes in the night and re (Edim7)peats and re peats in my (Bb7)ear:

“Don’t you (Cm)know, lit tle fool,

you nev er can win.

(F#dim7)Use your men (Fm7)tal i ty,

wake up to re (Ebmaj7)al i ty.”

But each (Ab)time I do, just the (Abm6)thought of you makes me (Eb)stop be fore I be (Bbm)gin,

’cause I’ve (Fm7)got you

un der my (Eb)skin.
