Fever Lyrics

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that’s so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever! In the mornin’, a-fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I’m gonna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever! In the mornin’, a-fever all through the night

Everybody’s got the fever
That is somethin’ you all know
Fever isn’t such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, “Julie, baby, you’re my flame
Thou giveth fever

When we kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth
Fever! I’m a fire, fever, yeah, I burn forsooth”

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, “Daddy, oh, don’t you dare

He gives me fever
With his kisses, fever when he holds me tight
Fever! I’m his missus. Daddy, won’t you treat him right?”

Now you’ve listened to my story
Here’s the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss them, fever if you live and learn
Fever! ‘Til you sizzle

What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
