[edit] Lyrics
The lyrics for the song "Fever" are:
You give me You give me fever
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 Listen to me baby, hear every word I say No one can love you the way I do 'Cause they don't know how to love you my way
[Chorus:]
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 My eyes light up when you call my name 'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away Take these arms I'll never use And just believe in what my lips have to say
[chorus]
Everybody's got the fever That is something you should know Fever isn't such a new scene Fever started long ago
You give me fever, fever You give me, you give me fever
[chorus]
Romeo loved Juliet Juliet, she felt the same When he put his arms around her He said Julie baby, you're my flame He gave her fever
Sun lights up the daytime Moon lights up the night My eyes light up when you call my name 'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
[chorus]
Fever, with his kisses Fever when he holds me tight Everybody's got the fever That is something you should know Fever isn't such a new scene Fever started long ago
Captain Smith and Pocahontas Had a very mad affair When her daddy tried to kill him She said, daddy oh don't you dare He gives me fever With his kisses Fever when he holds me tight Fever, I'm his Misses Daddy, won't you treat him right
Fever, when you kiss them Fever, if you live and learn Fever, 'til you sizzle What a lovely way to burn [repeat twice]
