Frank Sinatra ((Feat. Bono))

"I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra ((Feat. Bono)) from Duets

(1993)

I'm not a Bono fan. In fact, I've probably wasted more energy professing this over the years than I have actually giving U2 a chance. Maybe one day they'll retire and I'll sit down for a listen through their entire catalogue and simultaneously my mind will be blown and my ego shot. Who knows, it's possible that I might one day learn to put my feelings aside* and simply enjoy the music. Until that day though, I will find solace in one piece of the Bonography: his jazzy duet with Ol' Blue Eyes.

*My reason for disliking U2 is no different than most people's: I'm talking about the (good-intentioned) preaching and a (talented) grown man going by the name "The Edge."

[Frank Sinatra: Normal, Bono: Italic]

I have got you
Under my skin
I've got you
Deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart
You're really a part of me
I've got you
Under my skin

I have tried so
Not to give in
I have said to myself this affair
Never gonna go so wel

But why should I try to resist
When baby I know so well
That I've got you
Under my skin

I would sacrifice anything
Come what might
For the sake of holding you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats and it shouts in my ear

Don't you know blue eyes
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality

But each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

Cause 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 and it shouts in my ear

Don't you know y'old 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 (I've got you)
Under my skin (Under my skin)
And I love you (I love it)
Under my skin (When you're under my skin)
