Never know how much I (love you/care) (x2)      [Verse]

C-when you put your arms around me           Cm D# Fm Cm

I get a fever that's so hard to bear         Cm D# G  Cm


You give me fever when you kiss me             [Chorus]

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning - C-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         [Chorus]


Everybody's got the fever                C#m-E C#m-F#m

That is something you all know    [Link] C#m-E C#m

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago           [Verse] C#m E F#m C#m

Captain Smith and Pocahontas - Had a very mad affair

C-when her daddy tried to kill him

She said daddy, oh, don't you dare         [Intro] (x2)

He gives me fever with his kisses            Cm-D# Cm-Fm

Fever when he holds me tight                 Cm-D# Cm

Fever, I'm his missus

Oh, Daddy, won't you treat him right      ╔═══════════╗

Now you've listened to my story           ║   Fever   ║

Here's the point that I have made         ║ Peggy Lee ║

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 'til you sizzle - (What a lovely way to burn x4)
