Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woah, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lord, have mercy
Help me
[Verse 2]
You give me fever
You give me fever
Every time I get that close
You told me I must be the most
I've begun to hold on to that post
[Verse 3]
Ah, you give me heartache
You give me backache
You give me headache
Every time I get that close
Told me I must be the most
I've begun to hold on to that post
[Verse 4]
Woah, hey, hey, hey
You give me fever
Every time I get that close
Told me I must feel it the most
Aw, I have to hold on to that post
Woah, hey, hey, hey
Hold on, hold on tight, yeah
[Verse 5]
Forget about me, so I don't stay true to someone
Who would treat me like the way you do
People told me you are not so good by me
I'm playin a fool of myself
[Verse 6]
Lord, you give me fever
Oh yeah
Every time I get that close
Told me I must be the most
Woah, yeah
I've got to hold on to that post
Woah, hey, hey, hey, hey
