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.

Sun lights up the day-time,
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.

Everybody's got the fever,
that is something you all know,
Fever isn't such a new thing,
Fever started long ago.

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 Pochahantas,
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,
Chicks were born to give you 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,
