Get Over

Lyrics

Yeah

You get under my skin
When I'm next to you
You get over
Every little thing you do, I

I was thinking that you never tried to hurt me
Never wanted something from me, tried to warn me
But you didn't really want me but I want you
'Cause you haunt me and I felt it from the start

You're going to break my heart
So I tried to play the part
And I knew I had to choose
I've got nothing left to lose
Might as well just tell the truth

You get under my skin
When I'm next to you
You get over
Every little thing you do
I can't get with it
Can't put the blame on you
'Cause you get under my skin
I can't get over you

I was hoping, I was dreaming that I'd wake up
Think about it and I found that I had made up
But my heartbeat tells me it's not true, I want you
Gotta have you, tell me why can't we just start

You want to break my heart
Now you're underneath my skin
And I feel like it's a sin
To let love walk away so fast
I'm not your first, won't be your last

You get under my skin
When I'm next to you
You get over
Every little thing you do
I can't get with it
Can't put the blame on you
'Cause you get under my skin
I can't get over you

Get up, get over, get under
Oh baby you hit me like thunder
Get over, get under, get into
To love you is almost a sin to
Get up, get over, get under
Oh baby you hit me like thunder
Get over, get under, get into
To love you is almost a sin to

Start
You want to break my heart
Now you're underneath my skin
And I feel like it's a sin
To let love walk away so fast
I'm not your first, won't be your last

You get under my skin
When I'm next to you
You get over
Every little thing you do
I can't get with it
Can't put the blame on you
'Cause you get under my skin
I can't get over you

Get up, get over, get under
Oh baby you hit me like thunder
Get over, get under, get into
To love you is almost a sin to
Get up, get over, get under
Oh baby you hit me like thunder
Get over, get under, get into
To love you is almost a sin to

You get under my skin
When I'm next to you
You get over
Every little thing you do
I can't get with it
Can't put the blame on you
'Cause you get under my skin
I can't get over you

Get, get over
Get, get over
Get over

Get, get over
Get, get over
(repeat and fade)

Song

Madonna and Steve Bray wrote this song around the time of The Immaculate Collection but didn't use it. Her version of the song never surfaced.

A while later, as Madonna was attending photographer Herb Ritt's birthday party in Los Angeles, she had an encounter with Nick Scotti, a young singer/actor/model. They seemed to get along pretty well and they decided to record 'Get Over' with Nick doing the vocals and Madonna singing some backing vocals.

'Get Over' was featured in the 1991 movie Nothing But Trouble (with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase and Demi Moore). Although the movie is best forgotten, the song landed Scotti a recording contract with Warner/Reprise. In 1993 he released his first album 'Wake Up Everybody'. The album contained 10 tracks, with 'Get Over' topping the list.

When asked if he just got his break in the recording industry because he was Madonna's boy-toy, Nick replied: "Whether or not I've shared intimacy with Madonna, she wouldn't have worked with me if she felt like I'd be an embarrassment. I'm really proud that I worked with her. But I wasn't Madonna's protege."
