You Got Under My Skin

You got under my skin again

You raised the stakes

Took your time and made your move

Your tongue said come, cowboy, won't you stay?

Then you closed your hazel eyes

Make like a tree, lay down some roots

My mama had to split, papa can't forget

Still me and the babies grew

I spent so much time, cuttin' ties that bind

Seemed even the wind was looking to turn me loose

But listen, I'm not saying I cannot change

Not saying I'm not afraid

Sure ain't the first the blues have kicked around

I know part of me is wicked

Although some of me is brave

I sure built you up and, let ya down

You say I don't wanna hear

How better off she'll be at dawn when the rooster crows

So play me a song

If something goes wrong, nobody has to go

Well, you got under my skin again

You raised the blinds and pulled the sun into the room

I remember how you told me everything rhymes

So just choose your word, boy, then bend it like a spoon

First you had me as a friend

And you had me up against the piano with the broken teeth

With your typewriter ribbon, you me again in your bedstraw

Pile of weeds

You got under my skin again

You raised the stakes

Took your time and made your move

Your tongue said come, cowboy, won't you stay?

You closed your hazel eyes

Make like a tree, lay down some roots
