Fever

Lyrics and Music by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport

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
And 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 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!
Give 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.
And 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…
