Neneh Cherry - I've Got U Under My Skin lyrics
[Neneh Cherry - I've Got U Under My Skin lyrics]
Spreading faster than an eye can blink
So I had to sit down and take time to think
Of how to spread the word to
People all across the land
To make sure they putting out a helping hand
Neneh Cherry know the story
So it must be told
About a group of people left in the cold
Caught by a plague slowly they fade
From an immune deficiency, you see
Called "AIDS"
No knowledge of the facts, kept in the dark
Scolds my soul and it hurts my heart
The young and elderly just running blind
Hurts so bad they denied their own kind
Papa turned around and said
"That ain't mine"
It just made it worse for life on the line
And it's a shame to see a little child mature
Growing up knowing that there ain't no cure
I've got you under my skin, uh
I've got you under my skin
Pure pain you're givin' me
I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep, you're really a part of me
I've got you, got you, got you under my skin
I had a friend once by the name of Mary Jane
Out with the guys and getting
High was her only game
And now the tears in her eyes, there she lies
It drove her crazy
All the boys say that it's it i told you so
But now you reached the point of no return
Instead of pride you had to take the
Hardest way you had to learn
Oh mommy dearest
Don't you know that I miss her so?
That's why I sing this song
Just to let her know
I've got you under my skin, yes I do
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep, you're nearly a part of me
I've got you, got you, got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep you're nearly a part of me
I've got you, got you, got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin, ooh, oh
Share your love, don't share the needle
I've got you under my skin, uh oh yeah
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
Oh yeah i've got you deep in the heart of me
So I had to sit down and take time to think
Of how to spread the word to
People all across the land
To make sure they putting out a helping hand
Neneh Cherry know the story
So it must be told
About a group of people left in the cold
Caught by a plague slowly they fade
From an immune deficiency, you see

Scolds my soul and it hurts my heart

Hurts so bad they denied their own kind

And it's a shame to see a little child mature
Growing up knowing that there ain't no cure

Down so deep, you're really a part of me
