Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever

In the morning

Fever all through the night

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever

In the morning

Fever all through the night

[Bridge]

Everybody's got the fever

That is something you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago

[Verse 3]

Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet, she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame

[Chorus]

Thou giveth fever

When we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Fever

I'm afire

Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth"

[Verse 4]

Captain Smith and Pocahontas

Had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him

She said, "Daddy, oh don't you dare

[Chorus]

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?"

[Verse 5]

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

[Chorus]

They give you fever

When you kiss them

Fever, if you live, you learn

Fever

Till you sizzle

Oh what a lovely way to burn

[Outro]

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
