Lyrics
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
You give me fever when you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever in the morning Fever all through the night.
Everybody’s got the fever That is something you all know Fever isn’t such a new thing Fever started long ago
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
You give me fever when you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever in the morning Fever all through the night
Romeo loved Juliet Juliet she felt the same When he put his arms around her He said Julie, baby, you’re my flame Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth Fever with the flaming youth Fever I’m afire Fever yea I burn for sooth
Captain Smith and Pocahantas Had a very mad affair When her daddy tried to kill him She said daddy, o, don’t you dare He gives me fever with his kisses Fever when he holds me tight Fever, I’m his misses, Oh daddy, won’t you treat him right
Now you’ve listened to my story Here’s the point that I have made Cats were born to give chicks fever Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade They give you fever when you kiss them Fever if you live and learn Fever till you sizzle What a lovely way to burn What a lovely way to burn What a lovely way to burn
