Fever

(album: Bette Midler Sings The Peggy Lee Songbook - 2005)

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 Juliet.
Juliet, 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'n 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 missus,
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 'til 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.
