Lyrics: I’ve Got You Under My Skin

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both]
I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
You’re so deep in my heart, you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you, yes, I do, under my skin

[Verse 2: Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Both]
I’ve tried so not to give in
I’ve said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist? When all that I know so well

I’ve got you under my skin

[Bridge: Lady Gaga]
I’d sacrifice anything, come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear

[Verse 3: Tony Bennett, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga]
“Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality”
But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin

[Verse 4: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Both]
“Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin
And I’ll love you like a tattoo under my skin, under my skin
Yes, I’ve got you under my skin

TWO MONTHS BEFORE ILLNESS SILENCED HIS VOICE, TOBY KEITH STOOD UNDER THE LAS VEGAS LIGHTS FOR ONE FINAL, DEFIANT STAND THAT NO ONE KNEW WAS A FAREWELL. In December 2023, after spending eighteen months largely away from touring while fighting stomach cancer, Toby Keith stepped onto the stage at Dolby Live in Las Vegas for three sold-out performances. He brought the exact same unapologetic humor, gritty confidence, and blue-collar pride that had carried him from Oklahoma oil fields to the summit of American country music. No one in the room—and perhaps not even Toby himself—realized that the final show on December 14 would mark his last public concert. For roughly two hours, he commanded the room, moving seamlessly through rowdy anthems, reflective storytelling, and the unmistakable anthems that defined his career. When the night reached its climax, he delivered a powerful encore with “American Soldier” and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.” Before striking the final chords, he urged the crowd never to apologize for loving their country—a parting message captured on fan-recorded footage that would soon echo around the world. It wasn’t a sentimentally scripted goodbye; it was pure, unvarnished conviction from an artist who refused to soften his edges or disguise what he believed. Less than two months later, on February 5, 2024, Toby passed away at the age of sixty-two. Only then did those Las Vegas nights take on the heavy, sacred weight of a final chapter. Las Vegas didn’t witness a legend surrendering to disease; it watched a working artist give everything he had left, stepping off the stage entirely on his own terms.
