Ooh-whoa, oh
You give me fever
Fever, oh
Oh, you give me fever
Fever in the morning
Fever when it’s late at night
You give me fever (fever)
Fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever (fever)
Fever in the evening
Fever all through the night
You give me fever, yeah (fever)
Fever when you’re with me
Fever when you love me right
He’s so sweet
He’s so good to me
He’s so intelligent
He’s so confident
My baby’s so damn sexy (uh-huh)
My baby put the fever on me (uh-huh)
My baby knows just what to do (uh-huh)
You got me boilin’ past 102 (uh-huh)
You give me a fever
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 (fever)
When you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever (fever)
In the morning
And fever all through the night
My baby’s so damn sexy (uh-huh)
My baby put the fever on me (uh-huh)
My baby knows just what to do (uh-huh)
You got me boilin’ past 102 (uh-huh)
You give me a fever
Everybody’s got a fever
That is somethin’ you all know
Fever isn’t such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
And Juliet felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said – Julie baby, you’re my flame
Thou give me fever
When we kisseth
A fever with the flaming youth, yeah
Fever, I’m on fire
Fever yeah, 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
A fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I’m his Mrs
And Daddy, won’t you treat him right?
Now that you’ve listened to my story
Here’s the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give ya fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give ya fever
When ya kiss ’em
And ever 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
Fever till ya sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Fever
