Fever Songtext
von Ray Charles

Never knew how much I love you
Never knew 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
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
Oh, fever all through the night


Everybody′s got the fever
Oh, that is something that you should know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Tell 'em about it

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 (fever, fever, fever, yeah) when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Oh, fever, I′m afire
Fever, yeah, I burn for sooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very bad affair
But when her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, daddy, don't you dare"

He gives 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 heard our story (oh, it's your story)
Here′s the point we have made (I'm listening)
Chicks were born to give you fever (that's right)
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

Ah-ah, what a lovely way to burn
I tell you, what a lovely way to burn
All right now, what a lovely way to burn
I like that, what a lovely way to burn
You ain′t right, Ray
