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 then 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 well 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 giveth fever when we kisses
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
Fever you have burnt forsoothe


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 Mrs.
Daddy won't you treat him right


Now you 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
But what a lovely way to burn
Oh what a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn




[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.
