Spreadin 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 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
And it just made it ways from 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
Under my skin
Pure pain they givin me

I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep in any 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 gettin high was her only game
And now with tears in her eyes, there she lies
It drove her crazy, all the boys say, that's it!
I told you so but you reached the point of no return
Instead of pride you 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 in any part of me
I've got you
Got you, got you under my skin

YAY!!!- I love Neneh Cherry, her debut album is the best.
And this track is fantastic, actually the whole "Red, Hot and Blue" album is a classic and with lyrics by the great Cole Porter...

I liked that dude in the rubber (or at least it looked like rubber) body suit, head & everything

Then En Vogue bit it for their Never Gonna Get It video





WHY do I remember shit like this?

You're not the only one! I remember that exact same thing, because I thought it was weird as hell. She was also nominated for some VMA's for that video. I love Neneh's take on I've Got You Under My Skin. The lyrics she added were fantastic - timely, brilliant and really brutal. Always reminded me a bit of Sign O The Times. Fantastic song and video!


i can't spell "were" edit

funny u remember it...LOL because thats what I remember too...

I have the cassette of this red Hot and Blue and have bene searching for the cd. Nenahs song is the best on there.

I have that Red Hot & Blue on CD... wasn't easy to find.

But then I recently stumbled upon the 12" single with the instrumental for this song.

I'm not crazy!

Giant gyrating packages are pretty memorable.

on of my all time favs..the song and the album..

My strangest experience with Neneh Cherry is that when I was a teenager I actually had the exact same string part that's on her "Woman" on a song of mine some year before she also used it.

never knew who sang that shit

that kind of video would NEVER get airplay today
