she's always under my skin
when will she be on the outside again
most of the time she's on my mind
the rest i think her in
and though she treats me so unkind
she won't get out from underneath my skin

she used to call me darling
now the way she does it's a sin
one look at me and she's snarling
she won't get out from underneath my skin

once upon a time the sky above
pulled me up, i flew with her in her sweet love
now there's nothing but a thunder and a lightning strike
throwing down any man that she don't like

she's always under my skin
she may never be on the outside again
the way she treats me i disapprove
now i know i got nothing left to prove
but until i get this damned tattoo removed
she won't get out from underneath my skin
