Dans les années 1940, la chanson est entrée dans le répertoire de Frank Sinatra. Elle est depuis devenue une de ses chansons phares. Au fil des ans, cette chanson a été reprise en de nombreuses versions.

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 down well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, you 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.

[Musical interlude]

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' 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, you fool, ain´t no chance to win
Why not use your mentality - get up, wake up to reality?
And each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
And I like you under my skin.
