You'll never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feelin' that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever) in the mornin'
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
I get a fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever) I'm on fire
Fever all through the night
You never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feelin' that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever) I'm on fire
Fever all through the night
