Under My Skin
Nate Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I fell under the spell of your hazel eyes
Now I can't sleep though I have tried
You branded my soul
With a touch that's here to stay

Now I'm makin' blue sky memories
You're the one who finally got to me
I tried to resist

But your kiss blew me away

Every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
Every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Yes, you did
Baby, you got under my skin

Sittin' pretty like a brand new tattoo
I just sit back and enjoy the view
And it looks like this time
It ain't gonna fade

You went and took a lost and a lonely man
Said you're gonna love me to the end
All it took was a lot of prayer
And a little faith

Every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
Every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Baby, you got under my skin, yeah

And every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
And every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Yes, you did
Baby, you got under my skin

I fell under the spell of your hazel eyes
Now I can't sleep though I have tried
