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 affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well
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 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
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of the warning voice that 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 do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Yes, I've got you under my skin
About I've Got You Under My Skin
"I've Got You Under My Skin" by the 101 Strings Orchestra stands as a definitive example of the romantic string ensemble's ability to blend classical precision with Hollywood glamour. Recorded in the late 1950s, this track exemplifies the era's shift toward lush, orchestral pop arrangements that prioritized emotional resonance over traditional vocal performance. The piece features a sweeping melody and intricate counterpoint typical of the orchestra's repertoire, which often accompanied major film productions and television series. Musically, the recording captures the sophisticated sound of the period, utilizing a full complement of strings to create a rich, immersive atmosphere. While the original vocal version is often associated with the song's cinematic origins, this instrumental rendition highlights the compositional strength of the work itself. The track remains a staple of the romantic string genre, frequently performed in concert halls and on television programs where its timeless elegance continues to captivate audiences.
