Lyrics

Do I know you from somewhere

Why do you leave me wanting more

Why do all the things I say

Sound like the stupid things I've said before

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

Kiss me, I'm dying

Put your hand on my skin

I close my eyes

I need to make a connection

I'm walking on a thin line

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Do I know you from somewhere

Why do you leave me wanting more

Why do all the things I say

Sound like the stupid things I've said before

(Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me)

Touch me, I'm trying

To see inside of your soul

I've got this thing

I want to make a connection

I'm not like this all the time

You've got this thing

You've got this thing

Do I know you from somewhere

Why do you leave me wanting more

Why do all the things I say

Sound like the stupid things I've said before

Kiss me, I'm dying

Put your hand on my skin

I close my eyes

I need to have your protection

I close my eyes

I close your eyes

(Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me)

Do I know you from somewhere

Why do you leave me wanting more

Why do all the things I say

Sound like the stupid things I've said before

Do I know you from somewhere

Why do you leave me wanting more

Why do all the things I say

Sound like the stupid things I've said before

Kiss me, I'm dying

Touch me, I'm trying, ohhhh

I'm not like this all the time

I'm not like this all the time

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

Touch me, I'm trying, ohhhh

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

I'm not like this all the time (kiss, kiss,...)

I'm not like this all the time (kiss, kiss,...)

I'm not like this all the time (kiss, kiss, kiss me...)

Put your hand on my skin

Put your hand on my skin

Song

With Skin Madonna's music evolves more into tribal dance-trance and techno, a new sound she tries for the first time and which is best illustrated with her nickname during the making of the Ray Of Light album: Veronica Electronica...

The original title for this song was 'Flirtation Dance'. In a MTV documentary with Kurt Loder we see Madonna scratching that title and replacing it by 'Skin'. When Kurt asks her what the original title was, she just answers 'never mind!'.

Skin was first rumoured to become the final single for the Ray Of Light album, but these plans got cancelled, probably because of insufficient time between the releases of Nothing Really Matters and Beautiful Stranger.
