Under My Skin Songtext
von Rachael Yamagata

I hesitate to say I was bait for you
Could that be something that you all would do?
I′d be lying if I did now say I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here,
and for the moment the "we" is reprieved
But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover
That I like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
′Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They′re speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside, I′m not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it′s right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go


I′m in the dance, and it's a chance
But stay and watch awhile
I′ll be singing a tune just for you with a smile
And maybe, if I'm lucky
You'll tip your hat to me, and you′ll discover
That you like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
′Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don′t know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I′m not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it′s right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than I′ve ever been before
′Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be to blame for them
I don′t want to be to blame


Oh, would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can′t begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They′re speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it′s right, I′m gonna stay my distance, and you should go
Oh, would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem, but I won′t let you know
