Spreadin faster than an eye can blink

So I had to sit down and take time to think

Of how to spread the word to people all across the land

To make sure they putting out a helping hand

Neneh Cherry notice hurry so it must be told

About a group of people left in the cold

Caught by a plague slowly they fade

From immune deficiency you see called "AIDS"

No knowledge of the facts, kept in the dark

Scolds my soul and it hurts my heart

The young and elderly just running blind

Hurts so bad they denied their own kind

Papa turned around and said that ain't mine

It just made it hard for life on the line

And it's a shame to see a little child mature

Growing up knowing that there ain't no cure

I've got you under my skin

I've got you under my skin

... Pure pain they give me...

I had a friend once by the name of MARY JANE

Out with the guys and getting high was her only game

And now the tears in her eyes, there she lies

It drove her crazy, all the boys say that's it

I told you so but you reached the point of no return

Instead of pride you take the hardest way you had to learn

Oh mommy dearest, don't you know that I miss her so

That's why I sing this song

Just to let her know

I've got you under my skin

I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

Down so deep in any part of me

I've got you, got you, got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

Down so deep in any part of me

I've got you, got you, got you under my skin

Use your mentality, wake up to reality

I'be got you deep in the heart of me

Share your love, don't share the needle.
