Fever lyrics by Peggy Lee


FEVER

Never know how much I love you,
never know how mu-ch I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so ha-rd to bear, you give me
Fever, when you kiss me,
Fever when you ho-ld me tight.
Fever, in the mornin', fever all through the night.

Sun lights up the daytime,
Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you ca-ll my name, and you
know I'm gonna tre-at you right, you give me
Fever, when you kiss me,
Fever when you ho-ld me tight.
Fever, in the mornin', fever all through the night.

Ev'rybody's got the fever,
that is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing,
Fever started lo-ng ago.

Romeo loved Juliet,
Juliet she fe-lt the same.
When he put his arm around her,
he said Juliet baby you-'re my flame, thou givest
Fever, when you kisseth,
Fever with thy flaming youth.
Fever, I'm a fire,
Fever, yea I burn forsooth.

Cap'n Smith and Pocohontus,
had a very mad affair.
When her daddy tried to kill him, she said
daddy oh do-n't you dare he gives me
Fever, with his kisses,
fever when he ho-lds me tight.
Fever, I'm his missus,
and daddy won't you tre-at him right.

Now you've listened to my story,
here's the point that I- have made.
Chics were born to give you fever, be it
Farenheit or Centigrade. They give you
Fever, when you kiss them,
Fever if you live you learn.
Fever, till you sizzle,
what a lovely wa-y to burn.
What a lovely wa-y to burn.
What a lovely wa-y to burn.
What a lovely wa-y to burn.
