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 I can hardly bear
You give me fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

[Chorus]
Fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

[Verse 2]
Sunlight's bright in daytime
Moonlight's sun tonight
I light up when you call my name

[Chorus]
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

[Chorus]
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
Yeah, Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her he said
Julie Baby, you're my flame
Thou giveth fever
When we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm afire
Fever, babe I burn, forsooth

[Verse 4]
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him
She said, Daddy, no don't you dare
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?

[Outro]
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Girls were born to bring you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever when kiss you
Fever, if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
