If Frank Sinatra had CAPS, the lyrics to “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” might go like this:
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 disease must be Muckle-Wells.
But why should I try to resist since, as a baby, my hives would swell
I’ve got you under my skin?
I’d sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of havin’ it clear
In spite of a corneal haze that comes two to three days
And something, something plugs my ears…
And there blows a little cool, the weather and wind…
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Gives me a rash before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin.
I’d sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of havin’ it clear
In spite of a corneal haze that comes two to three days
And something, something plugs my ears…
And there blows a little cool, the weather and wind…
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Gives me a rash before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin.
Yes, I’ve got you under my skin.
