(John Davenport and Eddie Cooley) 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 daytime 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 And 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 Juliette Juliette she felt the same When he put his arms around her He said, Julie, Baby You're my flame
Thou giveth fever When we kisseth Fever with thy flaming youth Fever, I'm afire Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth		Cap'in 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 misses So Daddy, Won't you treat him right		Now you've listened to my story 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 What a lovely way to burn What a lovely way to burn What a lovely way to burn
