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

                       Am     C                                Dm                                   Am
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Am       C                         E                                Am
Fever! In the morning, fever all through the night

 

Sun lights up the daytime, 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

 

 Am                  C                   Dm                          Am
Everybody's got the fever, that is something you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago
