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.

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
