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

You give me fever when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night

Ev'rybody'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 givest fever when we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Fever, I'm afire

Fever, yea I burn forsooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas

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 Missus,

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
