Lyrics
[Rap]
Spreading faster than an eye can blink
So I had to sit down to take time to think 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
Hurt 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.
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.
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.
