Just thought I'd share this with ya'll -
I was singing this sardonically having got a bad case of poison ivy, then practicing it I realized it's a heck of a lyric for us.

I got you
Under my skin
I got you
Deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart,
You're really a part of me.
I got you
Under my skin.
I 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 darling I know so well:
I 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,
Comes in the night,
And repeats and 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
The thought of you
Makes me Stop -
Before I begin
'Cause I got you
Under my skin.
