Lyrics

Never knew how much I love you, never knew 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 morning
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 morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever, that is something that you should know
Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Tell them about it
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said "Julie baby you're my flame"
Thou givest fever
Fever, fever, fever, yeah
When we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Oh fever
I'm afire, I’m afire
Fever yeah, I burn forsooth
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very bad affair
But when her daddy tried to kill him, she said "Daddy, daddy don't you dare"
He gives me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his missus
Oh, daddy won't you treat him right
Now you've heard our story (Oh, it's your story)
Here's the point we have made (I'm listening)
Chicks were born to give you fever (that's right)
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
When you kiss them (Uh, babe, uh, uh, uh)
Fever if you live and learn
Fever, Fever
Till you sizzle (Fever)
What a lovely way to burn
Aha, what a lovely way to burn (Yeah)
I tell you, what a lovely way to burn
(Oh we, oh we) Alright now, what a lovely way to burn (bub be dub be dub be)
I like that, what a lovely way to burn
He he he he
(You ain't right, Ray)
