Ella Fitzgerald
Fever
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You give me fever — when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

[Verse 2]
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]
You give me fever — when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

[Bridge]
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
[Verse 3]
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, Julie, baby, you're my flame

[Chorus]
I'll give us fever — when we're kissin'
Fever with our flaming youths
Fever — I'm on fire
Fever, yeah, I burn for sooth

[Verse 4]
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare"

[Chorus]
"He gives me fever — with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever — I'm his missus
Daddy, won't you treat him right"

[Verse 5]
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fair and hide or sand of gray
[Chorus]
They give you fever — when you kiss them
Fever — if you live, you learn
Fever — 'til you're sizzlin'
What a lovely way to burn

[Outro]
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
