Under My Skin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How much can you fit under your skin?
How much can you fit under your skin?
I wish you were dead, babe, I wish you were dead
I can fit two, I can fit two

I can fit two people under my skin
Yeah, I can fit two people under my skin
And I will prove it if you will listen
You crawled up in there, you joined me within

I can feel your heart beating under my skin
And the beating of your heart is making me bleed from within
And if we cut open your heart, pour it in a cup
Do you think it'd be enough
Do you think it'd be enough
To fill my heart with music?

[Chorus]
Well, oh no, not a chance in hell
Yeah, I've heard you sing, but it ain't too well
Heartfelt, yeah,, you meant so well
But your song's no good 'round here

[Verse 2]
I can feel you breathing under my skin
Yeah, I can feel you breathing under my skin
And each breath you take is a brand new begin
Each breath you take, brand new beginning

England has a way of getting under my skin
And my family has a way of getting under my skin
And my family had a castle, way back when
I would have lived there if they had more male children
To fill my heart with music

[Chorus]
But oh no, not a chance in hell
Yeah, I've heard you sing, but it ain't too well
Heartfelt, yeah, you meant so well
But your song's no good 'round here
Oh no, not a chance in hell
Yeah, I've heard you sing, but it ain't too well
Heartfelt, yeah,, you meant so well
But your song's no good 'round here

No, no, no, no!

[Bridge]
I don't think there's anyone under your skin
Like a Cheshire cat, I think that you are just a grin
And I can feel you laughing under my skin
And the happy palpitations are making me grin

[Bridge]
You know it fills
My heart with music

[Chorus]
But oh no, not a chance in hell
Yeah, I've heard you sing, but it ain't too well
Heartfelt, yeah,, you meant so well
But your song's no good 'round here
Oh no, not a chance in hell
Yeah, I've heard you sing, but it ain't too well
Heartfelt, yeah,, you meant so well
But your song's no good 'round here

No, no, no, no!

How to Format Lyrics:

Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Perhaps the most eccentric and creepily written song on the album, Under My Skin speaks to a weirder side of Jukebox The Ghost that is usually not overtly apparent.
