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
