Charlie [under my] Skin

Last night ...

I've [finally] got you under my skin [Charlie]
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 tried so hard not to give in
I've said to myself this affair will never go so well [it hadn't till then]
But why should I try to resist, [it's just takes me more time]
[till] I've got you [or anyone] under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything [work, play, friends, love] come what might
For the sake of having you [or any character] near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know little fool, you never can win
[another night, another day - Charlie will not stay]
Use your [actor's] mentality, wake up to [non-]reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've [finally] got you under my skin



Took it's sweet time, I thought you'd never find
the way in, deep [under my skin].
Three shows, three, before you showed
before it felt comfortable, with you deep in my soul.

It just clicked, you getting in.
Halfway through, you crawled in
mid-line, I felt you
I relaxed, let you [under my skin].

From then on, I was sailing through the show
line after line, flowing out
finally I didn't have to doubt
[just the thought of you].

You are foreign no more
[this affair will never go so well].
Just visit again, the next show
[spite] your own [warning voice]
crawl back in, Charlie,
crawl back in [under my skin].
