[Intro]
You, you, you
Give it to me, yeah
You, you, you
Give it to me, yeah
[Verse 1]
You don't know how much I love you
You don't know how much I care
When you put your lovin' arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
[Chorus]
Give me fever (fever), in the morning
Fever, when you hold me tight
Give it to me
Fever (fever), when you kiss me
Fever, all through the night
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, temperatures rise and you know
That you give me fever
[Verse 2]
You don't know how much I want you (you don't know)
You don't know how much I care (you don't know)
When you put your lovin' arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
[Chorus]
Oh, fever, in the morning
Fever, when you hold me tight
Give it to me
Fever (fever), when you kiss me
Fever, all through the night
[Post-Chorus]
When my temperatures are risin'
Temperatures rise and you know
That you give me fever
Every time you hold me you know
That you give me fever
[Verse 3]
The sun lights up the daytime
And moon lights up the night
I light up every time you call my name
Because I know, you're gonna treat me right
[Chorus]
Oh fever, fever, in the morning
Fever, when you hold me tight
Give it to me
Fever (fever), when you need me
Fever, all through the night
[Post-Chorus]
Temperatures rise and you know
That you give me fever
Every time you hold me you know
That you give me fever
Yes you do, now
