Fever

(album: Love Me For A Reason - 1974)

Ooh, she's the coolest foxey lady
She made me a lovesick baby
Well, I got a case of fever like a burning fire

My temperature is rising
No hope of neutralizing
My thermostat, its meter's off and running wild

The love bug it done bit me
One kiss and then it hit me, knocked me off my feet

Ooh, her boogie down vibration
Kept my heart palpitating
She sugared my foundation, left me lean and weak

Got the sizzling hocus pocus
I'm delirious, can't focus
And love's the diagnosis and it's killing me

Mama, mama, mama, you light my candle, give me fever
Burning up my brain, little woman you give me fever
Doctor, doctor, doctor, oh, help me I'm frantic from this fever
And it's getting higher, higher, higher

Ooh, she's a turned on super baby
She drives my motor crazy
My pressure gage is climbing I can't take no more

My head's disintegrated
I'm discombobulated
Well, I've got to get away someplace, now that's for sure

Burning, burning, burning, ooh, she makes me frantic, gives me fever
Feeling quite insane, little woman you give me fever
Doctor, doctor, doctor, ooh, can't hardly stand it, stop this fever
Cause it's getting higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher

Little mama you give me fever
Little mama you give me fever
The love bug it done bit me
One kiss and then it hit me, who said love is sweet
Mama, mama, mama

Little mama you give me fever, burning away, ooh, you wanna say
Little mama you give me fever, I gotta run, run, run away, hey, hey, hey
Little mama you give me fever, burning away, ooh, you wanna say
Little mama you give me fever, I gotta run, run, run away, hey, hey, hey
