[Verse] [Scratch guitar] I knew I knew it wouldn't last First thing, I knew way back Way back when When I first met you And you gave me That flirty sideways glance [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Scratch guitar] Yeah I let you under my skin And now You're gone But you're still in my head Like an itch I can't scratch Yeah I let you in Now you're gone But you're stuck in my head, Like an itch I can't scratch [Brass stabs] [Verse] [Scratch guitar] I knew I knew it was all wrong Couldn't see What you saw in me But you caught me You caught me off guard I let down my defenses And I let you in [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Scratch guitar] Yeah I let you under my skin And now You're gone But you're still in my head Like an itch I can't scratch Yeah I let you in Now you're gone But you're stuck in my head, Like an itch I can't scratch [Brass stabs] [Bridge] [Wah-wah guitar, brass stabs] [Verse] [Scratch guitar] I knew I knew it was a mistake Now I wonder Now that it's over Now that bitterness Replaced the love we shared The good times we had I wonder Did I sabotage us? Did I take you for granted? Could I have done more? [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Scratch guitar, building intensity] Yeah I let you under my skin And now You're gone But you're still in my head Like an itch I can't scratch Yeah I let you in Now you're gone But you're stuck in my head, Like an itch I can't scratch [Brass stabs] [Outro] [Scratch guitar, building intensity] Yeah, I'm tryin' to make sense of it all Tell me One last thing, Was what we had real? Or Was I right all along? [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Scratch guitar] Yeah I let you under my skin And now You're gone But you're still in my head Like an itch I can't scratch Yeah I let you in Now you're gone But you're stuck in my head, Like an itch I can't scratch [Brass stabs] [Music strips back to just the bass, kick drum, and handclaps as the vocals repeat in a hypnotic loop]
