[Am]Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me, I get a [E7]Fever that's so hard to [Am]bear.
You give me Fever, [Am]when you kiss me, [F6]Fever when you hold me [Am]tight.
Fever - in the morning, Fever all [E7]through the [Am]night.
[Am]Sun lights up the daytime, Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name and you [E7]know I'm gonna treat you [Am]right.
You give me Fever, [Am]when you kiss me, [F6]Fever when you hold me [Am]tight.
Fever - in the morning, Fever all [E7]through the [Am]night.
[Am] Ev'rybody's got the Fever, that is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing, [E7]Fever started long a[Am]go
[Am]Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same.
When he pout his arms around her, he said, [E7]"Julie, baby, you're my [Am]flame."
Thou givest Fever, [Am]when we kiss us, [F6]Fever when thy flaming [Am]youth.
Fever - I'm on fire, Fever, yea [E7]I burn for[Am]sooth.
[Am]Captain Smith and Pocahantas, had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said, [E7]"Daddy-o don't you [Am]dare."
He gives me Fever, [Am]with his kisses, [F6]Fever when he holds me [Am]tight.
Fever - I'm his Missus, Oh Daddy won't you [E7]treat him [Am]right
[Am]Now you've listened to my story, here's a point that I have made.
Chicks were born to give you Fever, be it [E7]Fahrenheit or Centi[Am]grade
They give you fever, [Am]when you kiss them, [F6]Fever if you live and [Am]learn.
Fever - 'til you sizzle, what a lovely [E7]way to [Am]burn,
what a lovely [E7]way to [Am]burn, what a lovely [E7]way to [Am]burn.
