Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I get home from my job, I turn on my TV, but I can't keep my mind on the show

When I lay down at night, oh, I can't get no sleep, so I turn on the radio

But the only sound I hear is you whisperin' in my ear the words that you used to say

Now my days grow longer as my love grows stronger and the fever gets worse and

[Chorus]

I've got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Well, you left this little boy

[Verse 2]

I can remember comin' home, I see you standin' at the stove

With the dishes on the table, dinner ready to go

Or maybe on out to a movie show, something that you'd like to see

Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning and my moon at night

I think about you, baby, mmm, I feel alright

Days grow longer as my love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse and

[Chorus]

I've got the fever for the girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Yeah, you left this little boy blue

[Bridge]

Ooh, gonna be alright

Ooh, gonna be alright

Ooh, gonna be alright

[Verse 3]

I can remember comin' home, I see you standin' at the stove

With the dishes on the table, dinner ready to go

Or maybe on out to a movie show, something that you'd like to see

Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning and my moon at night

I think about you, baby, mmm, I feel alright

Days grow longer, love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse and

[Chorus]

I've got the fever for the girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing, there ain't nothin' I can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Left this little boy blue, well

[Outro]

Sure left this little boy blue

There ain't nothin' I can do (Ooh, gonna be alright)

Oh, I've got the fever, baby (Ooh, gonna be alright)

Baby, please come home (Ooh, gonna be alright)

I don't wanna be alone (Ooh, gonna be alright)

I got the fever for you, girl (Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)

(Ooh, gonna be alright)
