         feelin' that's so hard   to    bear, You give me fever

Ch.     (1 bar) When you kiss me
        Fever when you hold me tight
        Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
        An' fever all through the night                       (+ 1 bar)

        Listen to me, baby
        Hear ev'ry word I say
        No one could love you the way I do              'Cause they  don't
        know how to love you my way, You give me fever

Ch.     (1 bar) When you kiss me
        Fever when you hold me tight
        Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
        An' fever all through the night                       (+ 1 bar)

        Bless my soul, I love you
        Take this heart away
        Take these arms I'll never use                  An' just be-
        lieve in what my lips have to say, You give me fever

Ch.     (1 bar) When you kiss me
        Fever when you hold me tight
        Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
        An' fever all through the night                       (+ 1 bar) 

        Sun lights up the daytime
        Moon lights up the night
        My eyes light up when you call my name          'Cause I know
        you're gonna treat me right, You give me fever

Ch.     (1 bar) When you kiss me
        Fever when you hold me tight
        Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
        An' fever all through the night

        Umm-mmm-mmm-mm-mmm-mm
        Umm-umm-umm-um-um
        Umm-mmm-mmm-mm-mmm-mm
        Umm-umm-umm.    End: F7#9
