'I've got you under my skin' lyrics by Bono and Frank Sinatra
A song with a pedigree of talent. Written by the great song writer Cole Porter and when first sung by Virginia Bruce it became an Oscar nominated song in 1936.
Frank Sinatra made it his own in 1946. A re-recording in 1966 prove extremely popular an it became a standard to cover.
And then enters Bono.

Bono made a variant to the lyrics when he sang 'don't you know old blue eyes' - a reference to Sinatra himself.
U2's I've got you under my skin song lyrics:
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 well
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 comes in the night
And repeats, and it shout's in my ear
Bono
"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
Because I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice everything come what might
For the sake of having you near
Inspite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, and it shout's 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
And I love you under my skin
U2 would later compose an original song for Frank Sinatra called Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad.
