FEVER
♥Beyonce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I catch a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I wanna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
And fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you outta know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said to Julie, "Baby, you're my flame"
He givest fever
When we kisseth
Fever with my flaming youth
Fever, I'm on fire
Fever, yeah, I burn forsooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
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 misses
Daddy, won't you treat him right

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
We give ya fever
When we kiss ya
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
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

You give me fever




Catch the fever
Catch the fever

Overall Meaning

In Beyonce's song "Fever," the lyrics speak about the intense passion and love between two people. The opening lines of the song are a declaration of love which implies that the singer's love for their partner is so profound that they can not express it in words. The singer then goes on to describe the physical reaction they have when their partner is around, such as feeling a fever that's almost unbearable. These feelings are not just limited to one particular time of the day; they are present throughout the day and all through the night.


Beyonce portrays that loving someone can make life feel brighter and more vibrant. The sun and the moon parallel the lover's reactions as they "light up" when their partner is around, proving that love is transformative. The verses about famous, historical couples like Romeo and Juliet, and Captain Smith and Pocahontas, make it clear that passion and desire have been around for centuries. In both instances, the couples are willing to do whatever it takes to be with each other, even if it means going against their family's wishes.


This song celebrates passionate love, and the lyrics suggest that love can be all-consuming, beyond human control. The lyrics are straightforward, without any hidden meaning. The song depicts that when a person is in love, it is like having a fever that is impossible to shake off. The theory is not limited to famous historical lovers but applies to anyone in love. The song's final line, "What a lovely way to burn," encapsulates the feelings of the songs' characters and suggests that the passion they share is well worth any struggles it brings.

Lyrics🥴!

I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you, yes
Wanna show you how much I'm dedicated to you, yes
Wanna show you how much I will forever be true, yes
Wanna show you how much you got your girl feeling good, oh yes
Wanna show you how much, how much you understood, oh yes
Wanna show you how much I value what you say
Not only are you loyal, you're patient with me babe, oh yes
Wanna show you how much I really care about your heart
Wanna show you how much I hate being apart, oh yes
Show you, show you, show you, 'til you through with me
I wanna keep it how it is so you can never say how it used to be
Loving you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night
I wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy, I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
I'll be rockin' on my babe, rockin', rockin' on my babe
Swirlin' on my babe, swirlin', swirlin' on my babe
Baby, let me put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down
You'll never need two 'cause I will be your number one
Them other chicks are superficial
But I know you know I'm the one
That's why I'm all into you
'Cause I can recognize that you know that
That's why I'm backing this thing back
Pop-poppin' this thing back
Drop, drop, drop-droppin' this thing back
This is for the time you gave me flowers
For the world that is ours
For the mula, for the power of love
And no I won't never ever e-ever give you up
And I wanna say thank you incase I don't thank you enough
A woman in the street and a freak in the you know what
Sit back, sit back, it's the pre-game show
Daddy, you know what's up
Loving you is really all that's on my mind
And I can't help but to think about it day and night
I wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy, I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
I'll be rockin' on my babe, rockin', rockin' on my babe
I'll be swirlin' on my babe, swirlin', swirlin' on you babe
I wanna put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down
I'ma take this time to show you how much you mean to me
'Cause you are all I need
No money can emphasize
Or describe
The love that's in-between the lines
Boy, look into my eyes
While I'm grinding on you
This is beyond sex
I'm high on you
If it's real then you know how I feel
Rockin' on you babe, rockin', rockin' on you babe
Swirling on you babe
In my mind all I can think about is a frame for our future
And the pictures of the past
And a chance to make this love last
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna dance for you, oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body
Boy, I like it when you watch me, ah
Tonight it's going down
I'll be rockin' on my babe, rockin', rockin' on my babe
I'll be swirlin' on my babe, swirlin', swirlin' on my babe
I wanna put my body on your body
Promise not to tell nobody
'Cause it's about to go down
Watch me p-pop it, p-pop it for you, baby
Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it for you, baby
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me roll it, baby
Wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch
Me p-pop it, p-pop it for you, baby
Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it for you, baby
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch me roll it, baby
Wanna make that body rock
Sit back and watch
Yes

Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Yes

Oh, yes
