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 (you give me
fever) when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me
tight (you give me fever)
Fever ... in the
mornin'
Fever all through the night

Sun
lights up the day time
Moon lights up the
night
I light up when you call my
name
'cause I know you're gonna treat me
right
You give me fever (you give me fever)
when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
(you give me fever)
Fever ... in the
mornin'
Fever all through the night
(WOW!!)



Everybody's got the
fever
That is somethin' you all know
Fever
isn't such a new thing
Fever started long time
ago

(You give me fever)
Baby, turn on
your love light (yeah, yeah)
Let it shine on
me (yeah, yeah)
Well, baby, turn on your love
light (yeah, yeah)
And let it shine on me
(yeah, yeah)
Well, just a little bit higher
(yeah, yeah)
And just a little bit brighter,
baby (yeah, yeah)


You give me
fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me
fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me
fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me
fever.

Alternative verses found in Peggy
Lee's 1958 version: NOT verified by

transcriber but thought to be
correct.


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 on fire
Fever yea I burn
forsooth

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 missus"
"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
We
give you fever when we kiss you
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, ah
What a
lovely way to burn
