The idea that this is about some chick he's in love with is just the surface meaning. What this is really all about is drugs, and specifically, injected drugs such as heroin.
"I've got you under my skin". Does it have to be spelled out?
"I would sacrifice anything" - we know that addicts will stop at nothing to get their fix.
"wake up to reality" - under the influence of the drug, he is detached from reality.
"So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me" - the addict is so far gone that he identifies with the substance.
