Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one knows how much I love you
No one knows how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's a-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
[Instrumental]
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me 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
[Instrumental]
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very bad affair
A-when her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy-o, don't you dare"
[Chorus]
"He gives me fever
When he kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his missus
So Daddy-o, treat him right"
[Bridge]
Everybody's got the fever
That is something we all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
[Instrumental]
Romeo loves Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
A-when she put her arms around him
He said, "Julie, baby, you're to blame"
[Chorus]
"You give me fever
With your kisses
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night"
[Instrumental]
Well, now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
The Cramps are born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
[Chorus]
We give you fever
When you're rocking
Fever 'til you live and learn
Fever 'til you sizzle
But 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
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
