Chorus: Under my skin is where we begin the digging in Off of the cuff is never enough to show you’re really in
I can feel your heartbeat break down the door Eyes are wide open, clothes on the floor Now I see through you, an elegant stare Making me shiver to the ends of my dare
Chorus: Under my skin is where we begin the digging in Off of the cuff is never enough to show you’re really in
You know that I want you Make me confess, I’ve lost all my senses My spirit’s undressed I give you my heart, you take all the rest All of your teasing makes me a wreck
Chorus:
(Lead Guitar over verse)
I know who I am, don’t need to pretend Taking the honey away from the hive Paying my dues playing the blues Making the cut that keeps us alive Take your excuses Your celibate nooses Wrapped up in versions of shades of the truth . . . I’d rather be blue Thinking of you . . .
