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

“A MOTHER’S WORST DAY: THE TRAGEDY THAT NEARLY SILENCED LORETTA LYNN FOREVER” July 24, 1984. Her favorite son, Jack Benny, 34, drowned in the Duck River on her own ranch. Loretta was in a hospital bed in Illinois — collapsed from exhaustion on her tour bus. Doolittle had to tell her. She once said: “When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.” But after Jack Benny, there were no words. Just silence. Just a mother who had already survived poverty, abuse, and heartbreak — meeting a grief nothing could prepare her for. And still, she stood back up. Because that’s what coal miners’ daughters do.”You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.” But the way she honored Jack Benny every year after — it’ll make you see her music differently forever.”Have you ever lost someone so close that a part of you died with them? Then Loretta’s next 38 years will break your heart all over again.” 🤍

THE $15,000 POKER LESSON: HOW WILLIE NELSON SCHOOLED THE “NEW KID” TOBY KEITH. In 1994, Toby Keith was a rising star with a lot of talent and a lot to learn. Willie Nelson was… well, he was Willie. After a show in Austin, the invitation came. Five players. One folding table. A bottle of tequila that refused to run dry. Toby sat down expecting a friendly game; he got up four hours later $15,000 lighter. But Toby didn’t call it a loss. He called it “the best money I ever spent.” While Willie was taking Toby’s chips, he was giving him something much more valuable: The Truth. Between hands, Willie named names. He told the kid exactly which Nashville executives would smile to his face on Monday and sell him out by Friday. He laid out the blueprint for how to survive a business designed to break you. It wasn’t just poker; it was a Masterclass in Outlaw Survival. Willie taught Toby that in Music Row, your only real weapon is your independence. Years later, when Toby built his own empire and his own label just to spite the system, you could still see the smoke from Willie’s bus in his eyes. Willie Nelson took the money, but he gave Toby the keys to the kingdom. Now that the dust has settled, who do you think carried the outlaw torch further into the 21st century—the legend with the braids, or the man who built his own throne?

THE MAN WHO STOPPED RUNNING: THE FINAL LOVE STORY OF MERLE HAGGARD. In September 1993, Merle Haggard stood at the altar for the fifth time. He was 56. She was 33. When asked about his track record with marriage, the “Hag” once joked, “I quit countin’ a while back.” No one expected the outlaw who survived San Quentin and built a career on the “blues of leaving” to ever truly settle down. With four ex-wives and a restless soul, Merle seemed destined to always be looking for the exit. Then came Theresa Ann Lane. Theresa wasn’t even a country fan—she was there for ZZ Top. She wasn’t impressed by the legend, but Merle was floored by her. He pulled rank on his own guitarist just to keep her in the room, and as it turns out, he never really let her leave. For the next 23 years, the man who wrote “Lonesome Fugitive” finally found a reason to stay. They had two kids, Jenessa and Ben. When strangers mistook Merle for their grandfather, he didn’t get angry—he just smiled. He had finally traded the cold highway for a home in the San Joaquin Valley. On April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—Merle Haggard took his last breath. He died at home, in his own bed, with Theresa by his side. In a genre defined by running away, Merle proved that the greatest act of rebellion isn’t leaving—it’s staying. He spent a lifetime singing about being a fugitive. But in the end, he was just a man who found his way home. What do you think is the hardest part about finally “stopping” after a lifetime of running?

THE NIGHT TAMMY WYNETTE DIED IN APRIL 1998, HER FIFTH HUSBAND WAS HOLDING HER HAND. SHE WAS 55. AND THE PHONE BY HER BED HAD ONE NUMBER SAVED — GEORGE JONES. They had divorced 23 years earlier. But George was the name she dialed at 3 AM, every time the pills stopped working. Every time a marriage collapsed. Every time the stage lights went dark and the hotel room got too quiet. Five husbands. Thirty-two number-one hits. A voice that made grown men pull over on the highway. In 1968, Tammy wrote “Stand By Your Man” in 15 minutes with Billy Sherrill. It became the best-selling single by a female country artist in history. She sang about staying. Her life was about leaving. And the voicemail George kept until the day he died in 2013 — no one has ever heard what she said on it…
