Olivia Newton-John - Under My Skin lyrics

(John Farrar)

Every night when you're as mean

As a ladder with a broken wrung

When I know you're sorry won't make it

From your heart to your tongue

There are nights when you keep pushing me

And I won't go on

'cause when I get mad enough darlin'

I will be standing my ground

But on a night like this I know I can't win

I know my soul will burn and blister

When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin

When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

There are nights when every kiss

Is an order than I can obey

And I can taste the life comin'

From a mile away

There are nights when you keep holdin' me

But your arms are too tight

And I don't need what I want

'cause what I want just don't feel right

But on a night like this I know I can't win

I know my soul will burn and blister

When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin

When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

Everywhere that I go I hear your name

Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame

In shame

But on a night like this I know I can't win

I know my soul will burn and blister

When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, yeah, under my skin

Come and slide your whisper under my skin

Come and slide your whisper under my skin

Under my skin, ooh under my skin

Come and slide your whisper (under my skin)
