About

“Fever” is a cover of Peggy Lee’s song of the same name (which itself was a cover of Little Willie John) and was the fourth single from Erotica. Madonna’s version radically reinterprets the Lee original, recasting the midcentury torch song as a simmering house track.

Indeed, the song began life as...

Fever Lyrics

[Intro]
You give me
You give me 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
Listen to me, baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way I do
'Cause they don't know how to love you my way

[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
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
Bless my soul, I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips have to say

[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 3]
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you should know
Fever isn't such a new scene
Fever started long ago
You give me fever, fever
You give me, you give me fever (Fever, fever, fever)

[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 4]
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie baby, you're my flame"
He gave her fever

[Bridge]
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

[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 5]
Fever, with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you should know
Fever isn't such a new scene
Fever started long ago

[Verse 6]
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair (Fever)
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
Daddy, won't you treat him right? (Fever)

[Outro]
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
